    Giles

    Hiya thought I’d let everyone know as he done so many of us good deals over the the years and had only just retired to enjoy the hard work and long hours he put into making his shop well known all over New Zealand but Giles passed away yesterday

    That’s very sad news. I’ve always enjoyed calling in on my way through Taihape. He definitely had some of the best deals going round. Rip Giles

    That's a real shame, such a genuine guy and was so excited to finally retire and take his newly built boat out, RIP.

    Jeeze, he was the life and soul of Taihape for so many of us passing through. Was always a fun shop to stop at and have a mooch through. He always had a good buy of one sort or another.

    ......and only months into his retirement. So so sad.

    Wow can't believe this I was in the shop only a few days talking to the new guy Keith, he said that Giles had only left 7-8 weeks ago to go to his batch up North. When I lived in Taihape I'd always call in for a natter or to see his dogs. Another good buggar gone way too soon RIP Giles a real gentleman of the sporting shop trade.

    I would try and make a point of stopping and have a look around in his shop when going through gumboot town.
    RIP Giles
