William ANDERSON Memoriam
ANDERSON, William Michael, QSM 6 July 1945 - 31 October 2023 Loved eldest son of the late Eva (nee Maraki) and Canon Rua Anderson, Otorohanga. Devoted husband of Marion and treasured Dad of Michelle, Louisa, Cherie and Kathryn. A respected father in law to Stan, Coen, Jason and Taira. A very proud Koro of his beautiful mokopuna. Loved by his Brothers, Sisters, Uncles, Aunties, cousins, nephews, nieces, extended whānau, friends and colleagues. Sadly, you left us all 1 year ago today. This year has gone by so quickly and you are so missed. You will always be in our hearts and thoughts for eternity. Once again, we thank our Kaumatua, Kuia, whānau, colleagues and friends for all your love and support this year - during William's tangihanga and throughout the year. Which has been so appreciated. William's aka Bill/Andy, unveiling will be held at Otewa marae on his 80th birthday, 6 July 2025. More details on this will follow closer to the date. Kia hora te marino, kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere te kārohirohi i mua i tō huarahi. May peace be widespread, may the sea glisten like greenstone, and may the shimmer of light guide you on your way.
