Of Palmerston North. Passed away peacefully on 4 November 2025, on his beloved wife's birthday, reunited at last with his darling Barbara Doris Day (née Clarke), who passed away 25 December 2019. Dearly loved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Cherished brother, uncle, and friend to many. Loved by all who were fortunate enough to know him. A man with a big heart, a quick wit, and a twinkle in his eye - Grumpy brought warmth and laughter wherever he went. His stories, kindness, and love will live on forever in the hearts of his family and friends.
