Dad caught his last breath early Sunday morning 20th October 2024.

Very much loved husband and “Dear” of Honey (dec). Loved Dad of Jeffrey and Leslie, Kapas and Lily, Thomas(dec), Trina and Te Moana, Billie-Jean and Mano, and Michelle.

“We love you Papa” – Bill, Moko, Bailey, Boyboy, Geronimo, and Valerie. Big time card cheater of his moko-moko.

Dad will lie at “The Mill” Wednesday morning, 23rd October 2024. Thursday he’ll make his way to Ruataniwha Marae for his tangi at 1pm, to be buried with Mum at Takapotaka Urupa.

“On your sleeping chariot now Dad – just a little while longer”
“Dat enough”

Moe mai Danny, I'm going to miss seeing your gentle soul at our Te Whakaari meetings. Always a warm greeting from you going way back to our days down Ruataniwha road. Rest in Love with Honey and the rest of our Burton and Smith whanau at Takapotaka.
