John PITMAN Obituary

PITMAN, John. On Sunday 2nd of March 2025, we said goodbye to our beloved father John Pitman. A loyal and caring husband to the late Alwine Pitman, he also touched a lot of lives through the Howick Little Theatre and East City Wesleyan church, often quietly behind the scenes. His talents and dedication to others will be missed by many. Rest in peace Dad, love David and Fiona. A Celebration of John's life will be held at the East City Wesleyan Church, 219 Burswood Drive, Burswood, Auckland, on Friday 7th March 2025 at 1.30pm.

Thank you, John, for the sincerity and dedication you gave to those of us who were fortunate to call you 'Friend'. You will be missed, and you will be remembered.

Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity, once in the main of light,
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.

William Shakespeare ~ Sonnet 60
