Bill was a special person who set an example to many. He was a legend. My boss at Officer Training School (OTS) and colleuge during his years in recruiting, where he recruited my son, CMDRE Garin Golding . Outside of Navy I enjoyed his sense of humor during a hunt with fellow GIs, and Arthur Taylor down the Titoromiro River. My heart felt condolences to you Rosemary and wider family. Kia Kaha.

Sending deepest sympathy to Rosemarie, Monique and family, Barbara Jones and family.
To us, Bill´s younger cousins, as we grew up, Bill was a hero. Bill and Barbara are our only NZ cousins and important figures in our lives. We took pride in their respective achievements, and Bill´s have been many over the years.
We remember too, when we were young, how thrilled Grandma Lil, and Mum, Ena (Bill´s aunt) were when "tall, dark and handsome" Bill came to visit.
Very sad to farewell our hero.
Sue (Wellington), Joan (Hahei) and Riki (Sydney)
