My deepest feelings go to all of the Kerins and Wallace family.

Find strength and happiness from the love you all share now.

Our whānau would like to acknowledge this mighty totara that has fallen and he now rests with his wife and his ancestors who came before him. He was instrumental in my life, my children’s lives and my partner. We worked for Bruce on the farm for many many years and he supported me and my whānau in every way he possibly could. He guided me in my life through some hard times and was a predominate father figure to me as was his wife. We are truely sad that he has passed and we will forever hold memories of him and Colleen in our hearts.
With love Ngaire Rehu & Richard Nikora
Biggest Condolences to the Wallis Whānau. Both Colleen and Bruce were big pillars in my childhood, my thoughts are with their Children Mokopuna and Great Mokopuna.
