May that golden bus take you to the promised land, Pa. Your presence was missed on the buses and now will be missed in this world.

Pug and I have fond memories of Rusty and that infectious smile of his. He had a big heart and touched many people with his wisdom and caring nature. Though Pug was miles away he never forgot the great times when they were young and the bond was always there. Another great Totara tree has fallen, but the seeds he nurtured will find their place in the sun. Rusty you now walk with the band of angels. Our love and condolences are with you all at this sad time. Kia kaha.
