Neville GALE Obituary

Dear Suzanne and family, sending condolences on the passing of your Dad Gus. He will leave a gap in your life. It was lovely to catch up few years ago, and at the numerous Mathematics occasions. He and Bill did such a lot in that field. Sincerely Linda Ellwood.

I was fortunate to be principal at Hornby HS 2008-2015 and met Gus several times then and in later years. What I remember is Gus's gentlemanly demeanour and his deep, sincere interest in the wellbeing of the school. And, of course as a fellow player, he always had encouraging words.
My condolences to the family.

Gus was a very generous and loveable character. When teaching in the 1980s at Papanui High School, he was very supportive and helpful to me. Gus was a gifted teacher, mentor and Deputy Principal. nothing was too big or small for him to handle, always done willingly and with a smile. I shall always remember him with much fondness .

A great teacher, he was very patient and caring. Taught me in the 6th and 7th form. Met him also later in my teaching career. Always had a ready smile. RIP

Sincere condolences on the passing of Gus. He is remembered by me as a staff mentor for me in his role as Principal of Hornby High School and a man who enjoyed a joke and had a ready smile. RIP Gus
