Greg Saxon
Greg loved his bridge and loved the Te Aroha Bridge Club. He played both club and tournament bridge, many times with his mother, a former stalwart at the club, as well as his friends there. There was always much hilarity at the table in tournaments when Greg pitched up with his partners in crime Tim Rigter, George Sherrell and Ross Stewart. He was proud to be involved in the Waikato Bays Interclub event and he was very much involved in the rejuvenation of the club through 2013, voicing many times his happiness at seeing the club he loved return to life. His name appears repeatedly on the clubroom honour boards and he will long be remembered there. Greg suffered a stroke just over a week ago. He passed away in the early hours of Wednesday 16 September, aged just 60. Funeral arrangements to be advised.
