George BUNCE Obituary

George Miss those chats we used have
R I P my old mate and Friend.

I have just arrived in Auckland for the weekend Judith and discovered that George has passed away, so sorry to see.
I was hoping to catch up to thank him for all the fun times we had with Chevrolet.
Regards Tony and Jan Williams Brisbane but previously New Plymouth.

Dear Judith and Family, We were so sad to learn of George's sudden passing. Over the years we had many chats normally re our mutual love of cars and George was so helpful with assisting me to import my first car back in 1994. He will be missed by us all but remembered as one of the good guys in motorsport and business. Deepest Sympathy, Rex & Barbara Findlay

Old Friends,
Last week I learnt of the passing of George a very close friend from my early life. I have a wonderful recollection of those days! Amongst my memories ( from the 50s and 60s) are Everard Gutry's milk bar, Buddy Holly, Juke box, Chocolate thick shakes, push bikes riding endlessly around Takapuna primary tennis courts. playing 500 with Mop and Pop most Sunday evenings at Killarney Street. George and his mate singing Tallahassee Lassie at a Westlake school fete. Blue Zephyr Convertible, 39 Black Chevy Coupe, The Bistro on Friday Nights, Living with George and his parents for four years at Mairangi bay. A tribute to Georges parents who were wonderful caring people! George and I shared responsibilities at our respective weddings being best man for each other. I could go on forever so I will end by saying we had a great mateship, sadly different life paths and distance intervened.
Dear Judith and Family please accept our families deep sorrow for your loss.

Dearest Judith and family, so sad to hear of George's passing. Such a good friend. If we hadn't bought a Chevy from Albany all those years back, we would never have had the pleasure of knowing George and you Judith. Lots of fond memories and jokes too! Kia kaha. Lots of love Adrienne Leonard xx

Dear Judith and family
Sad to hear of Georges passing.
I was introduced to George by a mutual friend 23 years ago and started doing business with him . Those business dealings turned to a friendship that i will always treasure.
RIP George,

Really sad to hear the news of George. He was truly an iconic guy, and someone I´ve respected enormously. I was a work colleague, a customer, and became a friend. As well as sharing an automotive passion, I loved the stories - "wait - before you go, I have to tell you about..." I never knew what was coming, but it was always hilarious! He sure lived a full and wonderful life. Rest In Peace you great man.

Dear Judith
Sending much love to you at this very sad time. George was certainly a unique man and touched many people. Many fond memories of you both. Lots of hugs Lee & Al

Well George I am super sad you left us but so so pleased we got to meet you many years back as a friend and business friend, your drive and enthusiasm for all cars, trucks being American or just four wheels was `next level´....... Thankyou for teaching me to drive at Pukekohe and racing with us in the six hour race - we all had fun and a little success.
Many stories to tell but please give that other great man a hug up there in Chevy heaven, it now has another great man joining them.
Rest well George.

Your Southern friend.

Sending our best love to Judith and Sally and family

Thank you, George for being a good friend to Les and Cath Suckling and their family over many years, from the 1960s to 2019.
My best wishes to Judith and the family,

My thoughts and love go to the Bunce family at this time.
George offered me my first after-school job and definitely played a major part in my one eyed appreciation of the bowtie badge.
I will forever be grateful to George for giving me a go, and still wonder at his bravery letting this 16 year old loose on the road in a beautiful big left hand drive tank to run errands.
It goes without saying that I have very fond memories of my time at B&C at that little yard in Albany and George in many ways played a part in shaping the man I am today.
R.I.P. George

Dear Judith and family

I remember George with fondness as does my son Robert in the USA and my late husband Doug Good.
He lived a full life and will long be treasured by many in Coatesville and far beyond.
RIP with love Beryl Good-Penn. Warkworth.
