I've just returned from a family service for one of Porirua's finest, with a family service being a prelude to a funeral, for Tauiliili Tumuafa'aetemanu Tuvale Uluilelata, or Joe, as many of us in Porirua knew him. Tonight, hundreds of people gathered at the EFKS Ketesse Manu Church, or the Samoan Congregational Church, on Spicer Hill to remember a good, kind, and humble man. Joe was a taxi driver in Porirua for Porirua Taxis for 40 years, and he was a father figure to many, but, most importantly, a husband to Sera, a father to Eddie, Philippa, Magele, and papa to many, including his great-grandchild, Lenny. Manuia lou malaga, Joe.
