Very sad. The first "kiwi" I have ever heard about.

Very sad news, although was nice for him to have his family around at the close.

RIP- At least we will still see him every day on the back of the $5 note.

Wow. Didn't expect to hear that. He was one of those fantastic blokes that put NZ on the map. RIP.

You lost a "big one" today.
But he wasn't a youngster anymore.
He had beautiful life.........
