Grenville POMEROY Obituary

Passed away peacefully with family by his side, on 28 August 2025, aged 83 years. Grenville was the funniest, kindest and most thoughtful man. Our hearts are broken. Loving husband, best friend and soulmate of Jocelyn. Adored father and father-in-law of Sarah and Thomas and Rachel and Simon. Loving grandfather of Seamus, Joseph and Christian and great-grandfather to baby Jackson. He was a much loved son of Howard and Joyce Pomeroy and brother of Ruth, Katherine, Eric, Christopher and Nelson. Gren was a rare spirit, his warmth and humour brightened the lives of all who knew him. With heartfelt thanks to the staff at Kōwhainui Home and Whanganui Hospice. Family and friends are warmly invited to honour and celebrate Grenville's life at his funeral service on Wednesday, 3rd September 2025 at 1.30pm, at The Forrest Lawn Chapel, 208 Guyton Street, Whanganui.

Loved to hear your many stories Grenville. You had a rich knowledge of the things passed. Loved your sense of humor. Your presence at school, in the staffroom and the school camps were a delight.

So much fun and always that mischievous twinkle in his eye! A facilitator of learning who made it so much fun!

Our family has sooo many memories of Grenville as a friend, colleague and teacher.

Our hearts go out to you all as you lose him this final time. Keep the memories of the good times close - they will keep him near as you chuckle about his mischief.
