Reg,

Thanks for the call last week mate, it's always good to chat with you

While Gary's Passing is truly a sad loss for the NZ NBF and NZ Boxing, I know he always did his best for the sport in Kiwi, even though we never always agreed on everything,

However, i am sure the legacy he left, which is the NZ National Boxing Federation, will live on, through yourself, Steve and a couple of other dedicated people.

I wish, both you and Steve Miles all the very best for the future, and look forward to working with you again soon.

Condolences to Gary's family, may he Rest in Peace.

Brad Vocale
