He was also involved in the Methodist Church, played in the orchestra for several Blenheim Musical Theatre shows, and was an active member of the Marlborough Tramping Club.
He passed away on Friday the 2nd, aged 83 at Oxford, North Canterbury, where he lived for around the last 25 years.
His funeral is being held at Oxford Union Church, 1pm Thursday, but will be live streamed, so any of his friends or work colleagues will be able to view the service online.
If anyone has any messages, they can pass them on to me.
Just a week before he died Ecan recognised his efforts over many decades in this article: www.ecan.govt.nz...
Given Dad's interest in conservation, rather than flowers, native trees that can be planted and bring pleasure to future generations would be preferable to flowers.

The reserve he created is in Canterbury, but he had an association with Marlborough since he was a child, so I'd quite like to plant a tree for him somewhere here too.

The General Practice Owners Association of Aotearoa's report titled ‘‘On The Brink’’ outlines the urgent need to address pay parity for GP nurses and doctors, beef up workforce numbers and improve funding allocations for practices with the hopes that this makes heatlhcare more accessible in the community.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.
“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”
