So many of Paul's colleagues at Waikato University have acknowledged his passing; "total respect", "much-loved colleague", "quiet but effective leader in his field" are among the many tributes offered. Along with University friends, the Waikato Branch of the NZGS also extends their condolences to Robin and the family; Paul's impact on the wider teaching community was far- reaching, and will not be quickly forgotten.

Heartfelt condolences and kindest thoughts in your time of sadness Robin and family. Paul was a treasured colleague of so many at UOW. His work in the social sciences field made a difference for teachers and learners throughout the nation. He was always open to new ideas and conversations, and a wonderful supporter of new academics.

Paul, taku hoa aroha, I'm so hugely grateful for all my times with you, in choirs and in classrooms - co-teaching with you was like playing a concerto for two guitars. Love to Robin and all the family, Miles.
