Friday Night Live with da Boys

25/08/2022

We know the weather has been BAD during recent months and we are finding it hard to find people to jump on our show. So we are asking our followers/whānau if they can nominate people that we can ask to jump on here to share their story about Ōtara. We don't want to force anyone to be on the show......it's totally optional.
With that apologies no show this Friday. Can you all STOP being humble and saying NO when we ask hahahahaha. Bloody hell lol. Hopefully we get someone for the month if September. Come on whānau......take the step!!!

Just last month, Tau and myself had the privilege to interview Mr Allan Va'a on our show.

I have copied this below from Gloria's fb page.

From Gloria Evalu (nee Va'a - Allan's eldest of his children)

It is with great sadness and grief that we announce the passing of our beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother and Uncle - Malagaomā Allan Francis Leonardie Peter Va’a, this morning 11th April, 2022. We praise God for Dad’s life and the legacy he has left behind in Mum, our family and his beautiful Otara whom he loved with all his heart.

We understand that many people want to honour and celebrate Dad and we will be posting more details shortly. Please allow us this time to finalise our arrangements for you to come and pay your respects.

Our dear family and friends it was Dad’s wish that there be no fa'asamoa. We ask that you please respect this as we honour his memory and celebrate his life. Aiga ma uo ma e masani fa’amolemole TAOFI LE MALŌ. Ma le fa’aaloalo lava.

With all our love Alice Va'a, Logan Evalu and I, Caleb Fileo Va'a & Grace Va'a, our children and the VA’A and SO’E families.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Cor 5:8). Big Poppa has completed his race 🙌🏽 Allan Va'a ❤️

RIP our friend.
