Donald PLANT Obituary

I have only good memories of Don who was with me at Teachers college in Wellington in 1963. I was only looking at his photo in the college magazine yesterday and am happy to share it. I am pleased and not surprised that he went on to a very successful career in education. Ernie Rosenthal Wellington

I can´t believe Mr Plant has passed. He was my teacher at Keith street school Wanganui when I was 7 ( i´m now 58) and onwards. He was also great friends with my late parents Lorraine and Henk Bothof, formerly Wanganui. He will be sadly missed.
He was a wonderful teacher and just a really nice man. RIP Mr Plant (Don),as he insisted I call him when we occasionally met at the supermarket. That was very hard to do after so many years of calling him "Sir or Mr" ! Best teacher ever all my love, Tina

Deepest sympathy, John Hislop

I have nothing but good memories of Don over the past five years. He was kind, joyful, and quick with a joke or impression. He will be dearly missed and I know his memory will be cherished by all that knew him and his joie de vivre lives on in his three wonderful children.

My deepest sympathy to the family .Don was the principal of one of the schools in my job and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him .

So many beautiful memories with The Don, he was such an important part of my adolescence, thank you for always being there after school to chauffeur Charlotte and I, listen to our gossip and share your wisdom. You'll be so missed, all my love Bryleigh xx

Big hugs to Elizabeth, Philip, Simon and Charlotte, I'll always be here for you xxx

Condolences Liz and family at the passing of Don. May he rest in peace.
