Mark Pritchard

I have so many memories of Mark, his laugh & love of adventures at the top of the list. Sharing time with Joyce & Leila, including roast dinners at our place where Mark's comment every time was "yum, roast mmmmm". Diving & fishing at Hahei with Dirk & Dottie which Mark enjoyed to the fullest. Travelling through Western Australia on a grand adventure with Mark & Mike was the trip of a lifetime, including hours of planning with maps & google beforehand. It was an extremely sad day when Mark made the decision to move back to the UK, but it was the right thing to do, for himself & his family. As recently as September he was telling me about a trip to Spain that he had planned to do in October, including returning to NZ to be with Cliff & Ange. This didn't come to pass, but I found it totally wonderful that so close to the end, he still had hope. The grief I feel will lessen in time, but the love & respect that I had for Mark will never leave me. Arohanui, rest in peace my friend, Riss xxxxx
