Good man George,
Foundation and highly respected member of the Meremere supporters division of the mighty Hawera Rugby Club. He was never short of a word of advice on your abilities as a player after the game over a beer or two. Most of his words were pretty short and to the point, but always delivered with the greatest of intentions.
George was a great club man as well, willing to help and get stuck in and very much enjoyed the friendships he made along the way, always good for a yarn and a bit of fun over a beer.
Many sports clubs these days would love to have more "Georges" around. Rest in peace old boy

I have many happy memories of George and Jill when we I did surf-lifesaving for Ohawe with Paula and Hillary. You always made me feel welcome and part of the family, it meant a lot.

Jill and family,
I'm really saddened to hear tonight of George's passing.
Condolences too from Mum, Florence Bateman.
George & I have had a few 'conversations' as I've popped in & out of Annie Brydon. I've also enjoyed the moments you & I caught up with one another.
You will miss him greatly.
May your memories of your lives together & your love for each other bring you comfort over these days.
A husband, Father, uncle, grandfather and friend.
Personal memories for me & our family, a strong farmer from Meremere days & our joint plant shopping catch ups in Bunnings as we added colour to our gardens & latterly at Annie Brydon.
My deepest deepest sympathy.
