Matty, I remember you as a happy and fun loving uncle. Always keen to help, always positive in your words, and never never a bad word about anyone. That is the mark of a wise and special spiritual being. You taught me lots. Say hello to my Dad and family there - and we'll see you anon. Love Mike and family from Wellington.

We really enjoyed meeting Mattie in 1989 and the time we spent with him in New Zealand and Australia. He was a lovely man full of warmth and kindness. He had a generous spirit and was a wonderful person whose company we really enjoyed. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts go out to all his family at this sad time. We are with you in spirit. Love, Marsha, Chris, and James

Gramps loved all children and they loved him. With his warm heart and generous soul he made family gatherings special. He loved it when mitchie would say cheers gramps as he walked away on his golf club saying look mumma like gramps. A much loved man who will never be forgotten. xxxx
