Dear Jan and family it is with the deepest sadness I read this post, Paul and I were training mates under the legendary Russ Hoggard, Auckland Athletic Coaches together and more importantly bloody great mates over a period that spanned 60yrs. Another tall Rimu tree has fallen. So so sad, stay strong my friends 🙏💐💙
A very good man and sadly missed. Always easy to have a good yarn with. Rest in peace.
So sorry Jan .A great era that we lived in .Mt Smart where paths crossed we cheered all athletes on will be sadly missed .Memories as we get older
