Aue! Aue! Taukiri e!

Kua hinga Te totoro I roto I Te Wao nui a Tane.Haere, e Te Rangatira, moe mai I roto I to moe nga roa.

A great totara in the great forest of Tane has fallen. Sleep, in your long sleep o great chief.

It is with much sorrow and sadness that a great man from our community has gone on to the world of his ancestors. We mourn with the Whānau, our tears fall with yours, we treasure the time and contribution he made to this great City he loved Porirua.

As President of the Northern United RFC, on behalf of the club, I would like to convey that we are all saddened by this sad loss.
