To Jude and MacDonald family
We have been your neighbours at Kinloch for 23 years and we truly are going to miss Bruce and his chats over the fence. All things of a farming nature, machinery and the Taihape area have been discussed over a beer and around the table.
He will be a huge loss to the family and friends but I’m sure he has left plenty of wonderful memories for you all to treasure going forward.
We will watch his service online and hope to catch-up with you Jude next time you are in Kinloch.
