This is not an attempt to bring a message from the grave, or to sppok anyone. I (John, "flyins" older brother) wanted to express our sincere appreciation as a family for your condolonces and reflections on Sam's life. We loved Sam. He taught us all a lot about love in life, and we are learning more about his love for his friends through his death.

The funeral will be on Friday 6th of May at 11am. It will be held at "Our Lady of Fatima" church on the main road in Tawa, opposite the library. A time to meet and eat will be arranged afterwards as well.

We would be happy for anyone to come and share in this time. Sam shared his life with all of you, and we have no desire to take that from him in his death.

A convoy after the funeral sounds like it is well on it's way to being arranged, and I would encourage you guys to do that. If one of you could nominate yourself as the co-ordinator and get in touch maybe via Anatia we'd be happy to work with you. It will be out to Whenua Tapu, where we probably will have a family service. We'll keep you posted. It will be a funeral convoy, a sedate orderly time ; )

Do come together to ride, or talk , and take time together to reflect not only on Sam's life, but also your own, and the people around you who love you. My bike has no motor except my legs, but I love it, and I know that you love your bikes. But PLEASE, treat them and your families / friends with respect when you are riding.

Thank You all.

John

Thanks Frosty for your assistance in relaying information, however, I must correct that I am not and was never flyin's gfrnd - I was very close with him for the past six months, seeing him most every day, travelling to and from work since January and hanging during breaks and lunch times, lots of hangin after work, early hours of mornings, weekends, been to the burnout comps and camping, scuba diving..... many hugs as smiles (as was Sam's specialty) but not the gf stuff.

Now that's done, I would like to let you know, that for the people know, knew of Sam or who would like a place to drink and relax, smoking indoors, guaranteed way to get to know Sam, there is a place in Tawa (very very good friends of Sam) who are organising a safe environment to reflect, remember and celebrate Sam's life and the enlightening effects on our own for the weekend, from after the ceremonies on Friday.

If you are interested, please contact me privately or see me sometime Friday to get details.

Thanks again Frosty, and for the offer of a ride. I'm hoping the Guy that introduced me to Sam will organise our ride, however, I know there may be others who would like to join the convoy, if anyone is up for a pillion (i'm aware it's not everyones cup of tea) please let me know.

Thanks everyone for your support, what an awesome community ...
