Gordon HAY Obituary

To Heather, Olivia and Annabel

I will not get over the shock of Gordon's sad and sudden passing for a very long time, and Michelle and I are so sorry we were not able to be at his funeral. Any words I write here will be inadequate but suffice to say it is a measure of the esteem in which I held him that I was prepared to make him the trustee of my family affairs, not a position I would favour many others with. I loved his quirky humour and respected the way in which he conducted himself in the community and the manner in which he carried out his familial responsibilities. We had such great times together and I shall never forget. Please draw comfort from the knowledge he was so well regarded and that I am here for you all, and always will be. Love Rob. Taupo.

Thank you, Gordon, for your quiet, accepting hospitality to us, always, and your generous heart.
Remembered deeply and sadly missed.

So sad to hear of Gordon's passing. I worked for Gordon a few years back and our paths crossed occasionally since then. I always had the most respect for him.

Am so sorry to hear of your brothers passing away Jennie (and Gary) and pray a peace for tomorrow as you farewell Gordon. My prayers for Heather and the family. love Monique Brocx

I met Gordon only a couple of times, but as others say, he was courteous, friendly, kind...

My condolences to the family that he leaves behind.

I worked with Gordon Hay on and off a number of years ago now but he struck me as a good man, honourable, trust worthy and very likable. Maybe the powers above needed him for a higher purpose. My condolences to the family, though you have lost a good soul on earth you have gained an Angel in heaven. Serge Ritossa.

Dearest Heather, Olivia and Annabel
You know how much the four of you meant to us. Gordon's memory will live on forever in our hearts. He was THE MAN!

So sorry and sad to hear that Gordon passed away. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I worked with Gordon at Telecom in Wellington over 20 years ago - we lost track since then, but I remember him as a good friend, colleague, and a genuine good guy.

I am so sad to hear of Gordon's passing and I can't believe I won't be seeing his smiling face again –he was part of my NZ family and he will be missed.
