BETTS, S.H. (Bill):
"A true battler,
now at rest."
It is with great sadness we share the news of Bill's passing on March 18, 2018, surrounded with love at home. Amazing husband, best friend and soulmate of Ann.
"What he suffered
he told but few
He did not deserve
what he went through
Tired and weary
he made no fuss
But tried so hard
to stay with us."
Inspirational Dad of Neville and Sue, Laurel, Ross and Dianne, Joanne and Nick. Special Grandad and Great-Grandad, big brother, friend, colleague, and mentor to many. Messages to 30 Francis Street, Blenheim 7201. At Bill's request a private service will be held. A public celebration to honour his life will be held at a future date to be advised.

So sad to hear about Bill. He was such a lovely man - and like a father to my late husband, Lindsay. Bill will always be remembered with fondness - he will be missed.
