Benito DE BONI Obituary

To the De Boni clan please accept my sincere sympathies on the sad passing of your dear Beni. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in memory of a great cook, entertainer, bowls addict and above all a love of his family.
May he Rest in Peace.
PS Still add heaps of herbs to our meals.

The most wonderfully welcoming, generous and supportive father-in-law and devoted grandfather. I will always remember his singing, cooking, gardening and plainly spoken wisdom. Rest in Peace, Beni.

Deeply saddened to learn of Beni´s passing . Those spaghetti bolognaise meals across the road from the Schoolhouse in Mareretu Avenue , Patumahoe have never since been equalled. Diattima , Jasmine and Anne-Marie your Mum and Dad and yourselves gave us so many special memories during our Patumahoe years. George and Peggy Keown.

Beni. My brother in law since I was 10 years old. Amazing memories. Kind and generous. Hard working. Beni loved his family. Not every family has their own Opera singer and Italian chef. Also an excellent gardener. We will miss you Beni, thankyou for singing at Mum's funeral in March. Love always, Neil and Wendy

Condolences and love to Beni´s girls and family on the sad loss of a wonderful Father. He was always ready for a chat when I rang him, we had fun reminiscing about his great little Italian Restaurant in Patumahoe in the 1990´s, he never did give me the recipe for Lemon Chicken! R.I.P. Beni, you´ve earned your rest. Back with Judy once again.
