PARSON, Thomas Hay. On 17 September 2025 at home. Aged 81. Dearly loved husband of Jane. Father and father-in-law of George, Charlotte and Brian Hutton, Tommy and Lotte. Adored Poppa of Lily and Zoe. Loved brother and brother-in- law of Jon and Dawne, Libby and Rob Storey. A private farewell has been held. To Tom's many friends please know that he treasured the many and sometimes roisterous times he shared with you and the family suggests that you raise a glass (or 3) to him in the coming days. Special thanks to Aphasia NZ for their support through their Primary Progressive Aphasia dementia group.
