Sadly, I haven't seen him for the last 12 months, but I visited him last Christmas at his home in Matauri Bay and spent a bit of time with him there. Despite the fact that he had been afflicted with a number of health issues, his mind was still sharp with clarity of thought, and he had a number of instructions for us to follow. I was pleased to be able to see him then, and sad that since that time I haven't had an opportunity to catch up with him.
