Alan WHIMP Obituary

An idol of mine since we both lived in State housng Park Ave Whangarei late 40s'. He was 11-12. Me 6-7! Our joint love of cricket endured though we met infrequently over ensuing years. Lost touch until finding this obituary today. I was so proud to introduce my son to Alan at a crkt tournament in Akld early nineties: we from Eastern Districts (Hawkes Bay) he with Northern Dist. A super man remembered for ever! Ken Gurney, Levin 1/2024

I can remember when i started Weymouth primary school Mum put me over the fence and said for me to walk to him. At this stage i couldn't walk that well...he was a lovely lovely man... never forget you.. XXX ❤
Say hi to Mum in heaven please.

It is with a heavy heart that I pay tribute to my absolute favourite, inspirational, caring teacher, who came to me so clearly in a dream last night. To find that you have passed is very sad but knowing you inspired so many young people through your dedicated service, is a sign of an exceptional soul. As pupils of Raetihi Primary School 50+ years ago, we were truly blessed to have you in our school and community. Condolences to Karen, Douglas and all the family. With much love and respect - arohanui - Karen Morris (née Thomas).

A top man who made a massive contribution to the confidence and well being of so many children through sport .

Thoughts to the family. I have fond memories of Principal Whimp at Weymouth Primary xx.

As a student at Weymouth Primary in the mid-late 70s I have fond memories of Mr Whimp being a kind and fair headmaster. I have photos from a school gala with us wearing "I'm a Weymouth Whimple" t-shirts.

A great all-round bloke and valued member of the Raetihi Senior Rugby Team in the late 1960's and early 70's. It was a privilege to have known and played rugby alongside Whimpy back then. Our sincere condolences to the Whimp family. Garrick and Maureen Workman.

Deepest sympathy to the family. Many great memories of our cricketing days.

Condolences to Alan's family. He will always be 'Mr Whimp' to me; a fun, happy, passionate man who absolutely loved his school & students. Thank you for the fond memories.

Mr Whimp was my principal at Weymouth Primary, he was a very good man. Right now there a lot of accolades and good memories and respect being expressed for him in to our old school chat group.
Strive for the Best. RIP
