Ka korekore te marama, ka mimiti te tai, ka ngaro te tangata, ka ngaro, ka ngaro atu, tihei mauri mate!

Kua hinga te totara o te wao nui a Tane a Michael Craig Watson.
Koia tera te tangata i whakararanga i te tira tangata, e kaha ana ki te manaaki tangata, ki te manaaki i te Matauranga Maori hei oranga ma tatou katoa.
Na reira e te rangatira moe mai ra koe i nga manaakitanga o o tatou tupuna, kia hikoi atu koe ki a ratou e whanga ana ki a koe kia tu ki te rangi kia wheturangitia mo ake tonu atu.
Na reira, haere, haere, e moe e te rangatira.

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Michael Craig Watson,
who departed this life on February 12th 2007.

Beloved and devoted husband of Lynda,
Most caring father of Navarone and
Greatly respected step father of Mathew and Adam.

Mike was an inspirational person whose compassion for others highlighted his great depth of love for people and life.
He will be greatly missed by all of those whom he touched.
