    I’m gutted to hear the news of the best uncle in the world My heart goes out to you Marion, Linda Shona, Michael and family

    My favorite uncle taught me how to shoot, ride motorbikes, pick moss. Also taught me some risky things! Like how to hang from a chopper and don’t tell people about the greenstone and gold you find!

    Spending my school holidays was a highlight of my life with Martin, his laughter, fun times on the farm and in the bush, tough, hard working, relentless and loyal is how I remember Martin.

    He’ll always be in my thoughts..

    My deepest and sincerest condolences to the whole family..

    He’s legendary tales will live on.
