Charles HOLLINGS Obituary

Charles was a very kind neighbour in Herne Bay to my late parents and to myself. I appreciated his support and good humour, in particular the invitations to happy hour next door. My condolences to his family.

So sorry to hear the sad news. We shared many happy times together. He was both a friend and a valued colleague. Condolences to the extended family

Memories of long ago remain

Chuck, I´ll remember the many lists we did together with no complications because a day with no complications was always a great day & we had many great days! RIP, Alastair

Hello my friend Charles
Good father to your children and good husband
Thank you for been a good friend,anaesthetic colleague,always available to cover patients.
Shall miss the many shared breakfasts,lunches,dinners and cycles around Auckland
Always a smile on your face and especially when you came back from Cape Town and told me about little Ziggy your grandson
I was proud to be your friend and colleague
RIP my friend

Very sorry to hear of Charles passing. A very friendly, and warm neighbour. Will miss the driveway chats. Prayers and thoughts are with all the family, especially the boys.

So shocked to hear about Charles´s sudden demise! Outstanding, wonderful human being! I had the privilege of working with Charles on many occasions both at Auckland and Ascot Hospitals.. His face portrayed, kindness, empathy and love! A dedicated and exceptionally talented Anaesthetist and incredibly compassionate gentleman! my deepest sympathies to his extended family, may you have Peace and Strength from God who gives comfort to all who mourn, may you treasure the beautiful memories...lots of love

So shocked and sorry to hear this news. Charles was my neighbour when he lived at Winn Road in the 1980s and was the best neighbour ever! Charles was just starting out as an anaesthetist then as I was then so we had lots in common, both work and a love of sailing. He was a kind man and so helpful to me. My condolences to the family.

RIP Charles .. work mate and friend for 34 years. Condolences to family. Where ever your spirit takes you I hope the wind blows strong as you sail into your next chapter . With much respect your friend Denise Johnson

Will always remember Charles as a friendly interested empathetic professional and skilled Anaesthetist at WDHB
Very sad to read this news of his premature passing
My love and condolences to Charles´s Family

I am a recovery RN and I worked with Charles at Ascot Hospital for a long time! I too remember him as a kind man with a great sense of humour. He used to call me Bella Donna and for all that time I thought he was paying me a compliment. It wasn´t until a few years ago that I found out it´s a form of Deadly Nightshade! I like to think that maybe he did intend it to mean `beautiful lady´ sometimes!

I worked with Charles at the Adventist and Ascot hospital am an R N and Charles was a wonderful kind and caring Dr with a great sense of humour,I enjoyed working with him and am so sad to hear of his passing , sail safe Charles cheers Sue

Sending all my love to Charles's family, especially his adored children. I'm so glad I came to NZ this year and got to see him again. He was his usual kind, generous, loving self. The rose in the photo was planted in my house in Inverness and when he visited he asked me to call it Charlie's rose, so that is what it will always be.

May you have warm fair winds, fast reaches and plenty of attractive nurses on your course skipper.

Very saddened by the loss of a great colleague. Always willing to help . Rest in Peace my friend

Shocked at the sudden loss of a friend and colleague. We trained together in Auckland but though he was ahead of me, we immediately connected when he found out he was in my eldest brother, Paresh's, Medical School class at Otago Medical school.

May his soul rest in peace. May the Almighty give the family strength to weather this immense loss.

Om Shanti Om Shanti Om Shanti.

Deepest condolences to the Hollings family. Chuck will be missed by all who knew him.

So sad to hear of your passing but great memories. A lifetime of great friendship, countless days on the water testing our sailing skills and sharing time with other yachties.
