Roy PURDON Obituary

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

My condolences to the Purdon family on the passing of Roy. He was a wonderful man that I felt privileged to have met and have dealings with. Roy always had time to sit and talk and offer some wise words. I will never forget Roy's handshake!

Roy was a true gentleman and he and Margaret loved their holidays on the Gold Coast. Rest In Peace Roy, you have done the racing industry proud. Love to the family.

May there be lots of laughter, tears and love as you all prepare to celebrate the life of a true trotting legend.Lots will be on hand to salute you `Uncle Roy´ as you were known to me. We were chatting last night about the carpet being rolled up in the old house on Bond Road by last owners and discovering Roy Purdon Te Awamutu written on the back!
Condolences to you all The memories will last forever
RIP `Uncle Roy´

Very sad to hear of the passing of such a great man. So successful, but so humble - a great role model who will be remembered forever. Sincerest condolences to all of Roy's extended family.

Sympathies to all the wider Purdon families on the passing of a true gentleman. Roy and Margaret, you were lifelong friends of the Flynns and Shorts and shared many a wonderful memory. Rest well friend.
