Members of the Police hug Greg Sutherland’s family after performing a haka at a service for the former police Sergeant in Geraldine on Friday. “He made everyone feel special and valued,’’ Lyndon said. He recalled a trip with his brother where they accidently “drowned” a truck in the river.

About 800 people attended the service on Friday. “Greg always managed to turn a bad situation into a good one. He sat on top of the drowned truck and started fishing.’’ He said his brother had touched many lives, and everyone at the service carried a part of him with them. It was important they all went out into the world and did something positive, he said.
