    Brian Elmiger

    Top bushmen and machine operator. A very strong man and a great father and husband.
    Brian died (cancer) on Saturday. Aged 68. I really liked and respected Brian. Rest well mate.

    He ran a tight crew when he and his brother were logging. I never worked for him but knew a few that did.

    Unusually for the times, his guys would get Christmas gifts.

    I went to Taupo Nui with Brendan Elmiger (would be 40ish now), I assume they are related.
