Barry BROOK Obituary

So sorry for your loss Jenny and family.
After first meeting Barry more than 40 years ago, there are so many fond memories of him that will live on.

Dear Barry

It was an honour to care for you in your last months here on earth. You were a gentle giant and your quick wittedness and great sense of humour would make my time on the floor a joy to work whenever I was rostered in your wing. Thank you for the pleasure of sharing your bagpipe playing the few times you would proudly showcase your instrumental expertise. Thank you for always being keen to show me the pictures of your family that you were proud of and missed always. I loved how you just accepted your present world without complaint. May the aura you influenced into my life continue to be a legacy of who you were as I share the same with others at the place that was home for you in the last few months. Missing you heaps Blessings and much aroha. As we say in Fiji, Isa, moce mada!

A special friend of ours. So many fond memories. Condolences to David, Jenny and families.

I always appreciated Barry giving of his time at Christmas to entertain children of staff and volunteers at Arohanui Hospice.

My brother and I grew up across the road from Barry and Jenny. I have fond memories of the magic shows he put on for us. Barry always had time for me and my late parents. We spent a lot of time together with neighbour hood gatherings.
We send our sympathies to the family.

So sorry to hear of Barry´s passing. He was a stalwart at Kia Toa Rugby over many years, and I´m sure he pulled a rabbit or two out of his cap to help the double blues to victory on occasions. A real nice guy, with a huge smile. Thoughts are with Jenny and family at this time. RIP Barry.
