Bill left us peacefully after a long illness on January 15, 2026, aged 87 years. Bill was an architect and architecture was his passion and life long interest. Dearly loved husband of Alison and loving father to Geoffrey, the late Warren, Jane, and her partner Karl. Loving grandfather to Connor, Sean, and Xavier. Many thanks to Hospice Nurse Toni for the compassionate care she provided to Bill, and to the staff of the Summerset Care Center, Hobsonville, who nursed him with so much care and empathy in his final weeks. We will honour Bill's wishes for a private cremation. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice West Auckland.
