Michael GARDNER Obituary

Remembering the fun times at teachers college in the early 70s, school camp in the 80s and in latter years at Glinks. Haere ra to our buddy Mike and sending love to Nan and family x x

I had Mr Gardner as a teacher at Bruce Mclaren Intermediate School in 1986. He was such nice man, a person that I always wanted to cross paths with again and now regret that I never did. He used to tell us hilarious stories about his time in Canada with his mates.

I especially remember the ones about his mate Arnie, who used to get in all sorts of trouble. We were so lucky to have a teacher with a great sense of fun like Mr Gardner at a time when it was ok to talk to kids about mischief, I had a great time and learned a great deal about life, in his class. Well done on an exemplary life Sir.

Sending much love to Mrs Gardner, Jessica, Georgia and whanau at this sad time. Many wonderful childhood memories of Lynwood Road and Woodglen Road. Rest peacefully in love Mr Gardner you are remembered fondly (ps you made the best pancakes ever). Andrea (formerly Burnham)
