Lawrence RAINEY Obituary

RAINEY,
Lawrence Thomas (Bill):
Passed away peacefully, on Tuesday, June 30, 2015, at Hospice Marlborough, with his family at his side. Aged 75 years. Dearly loved husband of the late Valerie, much loved father and father-in-law of Alison and Stuart Trustrum, Philip Rainey, and the late Michael Rainey. Dearly loved Grandad of Cohen, and Leonicia. A much loved brother, brother-in-law, uncle and great-uncle. Messages may be sent to PO Box 110, Blenheim 7240. Flowers are welcome, or a donation to Hospice Marlborough can be made at the service or sent to PO Box 411, Blenheim 7240.
The world has lost a good keen man, a hunter, a fisherman, a vegie gardener extraordinaire. a salt-of-the-earth man (pun intended after 50 years at Dominion Salt) and worker, a battler and a toiler, honest as the day is long, who if he had two shirts would give one away; a father who gave us horsey rides on his back and a sound value system for life. Together with Mum once more.
A service for Bill will be held at Seddon Memorial Hall, Foster Street, Seddon, at 1pm on Monday, July 6, followed by interment at Seddon Cemetery.
