My deepest condolences and arohanui to you and your whanau, Gail xoxo. I was so deeply saddened to hear of Bubba´s sudden passing. He certainly put his heart and soul into sharing his vast knowledge of his beloved marae with humility and good humour when I was at Te Rau Aroha with DOC, the Southland Conservation Board, or Kaitiaki Roopu. He will be sorely missed, but his legacy will live on forever. Rest in peace, Bubba
