E Te Kaihautu, e Te Ringa Whakatau-I-Te-Tika!
Ko koe ra te tohunga nāu nei i waihanga te Ture Whakaruruhau mo te rangatahi kua taka nei ki te hē. Ko te mihi, e kore e mutu!
Kua ngaro to reo, te korokoro tui e aumiri nei i te taringa tangata i nga hui a-tau o Te Tohu Tākāro o Aotearoa.
Kua tiaho mai to wairua hei whetū mārama ki te Ao.
Takahi atu ra korua ko to hoa, a Albie Pryor nāna nei i whakatū tenei kaupapa o Te Tohu Tākaro mo nga toa o te Ao Māori.
In Remembrance of Judge Mick Brown.
To the Great Leader, the Guiding Hand of Justice!
You provided guidance for the New Zealand Youth Justice System to help the young who had fallen into trouble. You deserve our everlasting praise,
Your voice, likened to the sweet sounding voice of the Tui that use to be heard at our annual Maori Sports Awards, is no longer with us.
Your spirit gleams as a shining star upon this World.
Travel well with your dear friend, Albie Pryor, who initiated this celebration of those sports champions of the Maori World.
