place. He was in the flesh the Biblical character who was without guile. At some stage or other after his death, thousands came to pay their respects. The greatest in the land and the most humble mourned for him for all knew that Death had struck the Maori people one of his cruellest blows. Perhaps it is true that no man is indispensable but it is equally true that no man is ever really replaced. Others rise to do the work but they do it in different ways. We will not see another John Waititi but it is inconceivable that there will not be many, many more men and women fitted to carry on where he laid down his burden. The lesson of John Waititi's life is simple. It is this. Work for your fellow men. Work for love of them. And work until you die.
