Dear Pat and family, our thoughts are with you this week on Jeff’s passing. Such a great man, and so generous with his advice and company. I know my mum and dad both enjoyed yours and Jeff’s visits to Waitahanui and the service was a great tribute to him. Go well, regards David and Cecil Wright

Thinking of Pat and the Parsons family today, apologies for not being there in person. Jeff played a big part in our up bringing and I would have dearly loved to be there to send him off xo

When Jane and I were little and came to stay at the farm we were so scared of our huge Uncle Jeff, and even though I hated eggs I didn't dare say but sneaked my plate under Janes to hide the fact I hadn't eaten them!
Later Mum got wind of our fears and said, "Oh your Uncle, he's just a big softy!" and from then on I though yeah, he is actually and he's pretty cool too, he might be a dude!

Remembering all those special tines as children that we would holiday with the Parsons, in Napier and Taupo, how much Uncle Jeff was pivotal in the fun we all had!! Thank you Uncle for sharing the love way beyond your immediate family!!

Thinking of you all today, Auntie Pat & co, wishing I were there but I'll be online sending him farewell and you much love and strength.

Verity xx

Fishing trips with grandad will always be one of my most special childhood memories I have.
I will also always remember when I looked out my bedroom window one night and grandad was eating all the candy and drinking the beer that we had left out for Santa, I think that’s how I worked out Santa wasn’t real and that’s a story I still love to share.
I Love you so much grandad, Rest in peace
