I still remember the advertisement you did on television, not cracking a smile while watching some rugby game in the background.

I can remember visiting Aunty Ivy Sloss at Leithfield Beach with my Mum Jessie Burrows . Also Aunty Ethel. These were your family Grizz. A larger than life sized cardboard cutout of Grizz was kept by my Uncle Skinny Burrows. Everytime Grizz played on the tv this cardboard cutout would have pride of place in the lounge. We, the distant relatives followed all his games with pride. I also taught at Waipara in 1968. Grizz drove past every Thursday going to rugby practice. Thank you Grizz for all the great rugby and memories. RIP. Heather Cullington
