We’re sorry to hear of victors passing and our best wishes go to the family. Our family was a neighbour to victors farm on Durie Hill. Mel and the kids remember an escapee sheep wandering onto our property. Victor wandered down our drive and asked if we’d seen a sheep. Sure have it’s in the backyard. It then took all of us including 3 young children to convince the sheep, under victors instructions, to go back into the paddock. We all had a good laugh afterwards. We had lots of good chats with victor over the time we were in Plunket street. He was a very nice person and will be missed.
