Lester Colvin
18 Oct 1947 - 23 Dec 2023
I was shocked to hear of Lesters passing. I was unable to attend his service but did watch on line. We were supposed to catch up with a coffee when he returned to Hawkes Bay, I wish I had contacted him earlier. I have known Lester since I was 14 in Invercargilll. Rest in peace, much condolences to his Whanau

Grandad, I love you beyond words. I miss you so much already, I even miss running around after you. Promise to clean my headlights regularly, and I promise to put slug repellent on my cabbages. Come see me in my dreams. Love you always and forever.
