"He pononga pono, he pononga whakapai ki tōna whānau me te karapu whutupōro o Utiku. Moe mai rā, e koro. Kua ngaro atu koe i te ao, engari ka mau tonu koe ki te ngākau. E kore koe e warewaretia."

A truly loyal and trusted servant to his family and the Utiku Rugby Club
Rest well Koro. You are gone from this world, but you remain in our hearts. You will never be forgotten.
- Dale Cobb
