Johannes KUUNDERS Obituary

Dear Melva and family

It is with much sadness I write this message, hearing about Bill's passing. Such a lovely man, a true gentlemen - always willing to help and support people. The best thing I ever did was turn up with home made muffins for him the first day we started sharing an office - I had a friend for life! Bill taught me so much and would explain in detail how the UHT technology worked in our plant so I could set up projects. And Bill's wonderful excel skills, how many hours did he save me.
Bill was a wonderful ambassador for the Dairy industry and facilitating the exchange of so many young Dairy Technology students from his old Alma mata in Holland to our site at Takanini. You and Bill treated those young ones like your own Melva and gave them a home away from home and somewhere to go for a hot meal. So many have gone on to great careers.
I can still see his lovely smile in my mind and that is how I shall remember him. My heartfelt condolences to you all, we now live in New Plymouth so sadly I was not able to make his funeral. I shall pop around to see you once we are back living in Pukekohe after September Melva. Take care. Kind Regards Louise Le Fleming ex Fonterra Brands UHT

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Bill. He was an amazing and brilliant man, and it was an honor to work with him at Fonterra. His intelligence, dedication, and warm personality left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege to know him. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who were close to him during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed.

Bill was a real gentleman in every way. He was a loving, kind and caring family man. A great role model for my son Dylan, Petra"s husband.
Melva, Petra, Rhea and families, you are in our thoughts and prayers at this challenging time.
All our Love, Linda and Allan

Bill was a real sweet gentleman who was always willing to help us with our excel spreadsheets at work during his own time and to this day I am still using his spreadsheet at work. Such a kind loving soul. Thinking of Melva, Petra & Rhea with lots of strength love and hugs at this sad time. xoxox
