Dear Carolyn & Family - deeply saddened to hear of Lance's death. I knew him via work and he was a great source of information. Personally he provided support when we lost a colleague in July 2019 - he was just such a genuine and lovely guy to deal with. Wishing you peace, Brett Walshe, BSK Consulting Engineers Ltd, RotoruaBrett Walshe
