Norman GEARY Obituary

To all of you in Norman´s immediate family, we will always remember him first & foremost as a dedicated & loyal family man who took great pride in his girls and grandchildren as well as our family heritage.
As the primary driver and great organiser of our Geary Family Reunions, Norman never failed to deliver memorable experiences with supporting documents to look back on - a true manager!
Norman was always kind, a generous host and great company with both he and Marianne accomodating Margaret at their holiday homes, at dinner together or just enjoying a chat over a cuppa - his enthusiasm for life was captivating. It was so appreciated when he & Dianne made time to visit Margaret in her care home.
RIP Norman as you return to Marianne you will be missed but have left a great legacy and many memories in your wake to be cherished!

Norman Geary made a great contribution to our airline industry, as a leader and a person. He will be remembered with deep respect and considerable affection by those who worked with him at Air New Zealand through the 1980s. Standards he encouraged sustained the airline to today, through incredibly challenging times. It is a legacy all who share in can be proud of.

Deepest sympathies to all the Geary family on Norman´s passing.

Norman was a great leader of Air NZ in challenging times and respected by all.

When I first became CEO he very generously spent time with me and let me ask him lots of questions about his experience as CEO.

Kind wishes to you all. RIP Norman.

Christine, Andrea, and Fiona, undoubtedly, this is a very sad time for you. Mum and Dad have left some great memories for Jeannette and me. The wonderful thing about memories is nobody, but nobody, can take them away. Fiona, it has been quite a while since you and Vanessa started school together. Model A's and AirNZ are all part of the Kaliadascope of memories for us, which will linger for all the Souters . With many a kind wish to you all.
Brian & Jeannette

Thinking of the Geary family at this time of loss and sorrow, please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
I worked with Norman as the inaugural Chairman of the
New Zealand Tourism Board.
His leadership was as inspiring as it was stellar. He was smart and strategic, led from the front and took us all with him.
Norman had a unique and infectious sense of presence and humour. His gracious and much-loved wife of 57 years, Marianne, was an ever-supportive gift to us all.
An outstanding businessman, a role model and a loyal friend. Norman was a true Patriot.
RIP Chairman, now on the wings of Angels for Eternal Glory.

My sincere sympathies to all of the family, I know you were all very close to your father. Best wishes, Linda
