It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Billy Ebdale, aged 80. Billy was the beloved partner of Chrissy, brother of Annie and the late John, cherished father to Jody and Phil, Brooke and Lea, Shereen and Tim. He was also a proud grandad to Ben, Sam, Josh, Jesse, Tayla, and Max. Billy will be deeply missed by his special friends Amelia, Harry, Austin, Charlotte, and Dylan. Billy had a passion for fishing and boating, and loved nothing more than being with his grandchildren, and spending time on his beloved boat, the Cobar 2. He was also a devoted fan of his beloved team, the Chiefs. His stories and zest for life will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace Billy. You will be forever missed. A celebration of Billy's life will be held at Tauranga Sport Fishing Club, 66 Keith Allen Drive Tauranga on Wednesday March 8^th at 11.00am. For all family enquiries please contact Ben 02102991069.
