WHINERAY, James S. It is with a heavy heart that the Auckland Grammar School Old Boys' Association recognises the passing of James Whineray '74. As a student, Jim was a member of the rowing 1st VIII and 1st XV squads and also represented Grammar as a prefect. He served Grammar as OBA President (Nov 2010-Oct 2012), on the Executive and on the Headmaster's Council. A proud Tibbs House Old Boy, Jim volunteered on the 50th Anniversary Committee. A generous teammate, staunch family man and a resourceful businessman, Jim was reliably always positive and reliably always a gentleman. The AGSOBA expresses condolences to the Whineray family and joins with the Grammar community in expressing appreciation for Jim's life.

WHINERAY, James. Much loved and admired nephew of Maureen and Scott, and eldest cousin to Janet, Matt, Fraser and Erica. To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. You will be sorely missed.
