Passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. He will be sadly missed by his wife Eileen of 54 years, daughter Anthea, son Stewart and his grandchildren Bethany, Jack, David, Kieran and Olivia (Ollie), who he was a loving Grampy to. There will be a small family service held at Hope Family Funerals at 2A Loop Road at 11am on Wednesday 8th May followed by his last farewell at the Pyes Pa Crematorium. The family has asked for donations to be made to Waipuna Hospice 03 0435 0469107 02 rather than flowers. There will be refreshments at the family home afterwards.
