Gordon KING Obituary

Our condolences to King family at this time . We valued Gordons friendship over many years he and family spent at the Manawapou Road and Whareroa district.

My condolences to all the King family. Gordy called in here for chats many times over the last decade or so. He went to school with Dad and loved talking about the old days. My apologies for not making the service. Cliff Shearer

Hi Pop,

Thanks for being such a great Pop and it was always good fun visiting. I loved seeing you with all the great-grandkids it always made you smile.

Safe travels into the distance reunited with Nana again, she will be glad to see you it was always lovely seeing how much you cherished Nana.

I remember one time when we were walking through the farm looking for mushrooms for dinner and how much you laughed when someone in the party was scared of cows and finally got through a fence quickly after dawdling the entire time

I loved how you were always a jokester to us, especially with your teeth :)

Hi family sorry I couldn´t be there to say goodbye to Pop. Sending two big hugs for everybody. I was so glad to catch up with a lot of you when I came over with Mum Rach and Roman in July. The last great grandkid he hadn´t yet met. That was a very special trip.

It´s hard to believe how many of us wouldn´t be here without our Pop and it´s very special to think of how we all live our own lives and will always be tied to one great man.

He will be happy to be with Nana again.
Sending so much love and hugs from across the ditch to all my rellies in the Naki today

Hi Pop, Sorry we´re not there to say a proper good bye. I am so glad that you got to meet our son Roman in July and he got to see you smile. We will miss you and will always remember you. We´ll have some custard and jelly for you!
Love you always, Rachel, Lachlan and Roman x x

My very deepest sympathy to the King family Gordon will be fondly remembered by all all his friends Deepest sympathy Elwyn Robins

Our dad (who would've been 108 on NY eve) respected Gordon immensely, such a great friend and worker. Joe & Eileen Jordan would've been at his funeral for sure, as would some of our older siblings if they lived locally!

To Bev, Brian, Janelle, Brett, Richard and families, and to Brian, Graeme, Lorraine and Sharon and families, so saddened to hear of your Dad and Pops passing, I have wonderful memories of times spent on the Manawapou Rd farm through my high school years with Bev, such fun times, and later had the privilege of nursing Avis, Gordie never missed a day visiting her, together
forever now Avis and Gordan, to reminisce and share Avis's famous pikelets again.
May it comfort you all to know you are in our thoughts and prayers, we as a family apologise, we will not be able to attend Gordans celebration of life on Friday due to covid.

Condolences to the King family. A true gentleman at rest.
I´m sure once he has caught up with Avis he will be checking out any stock sale yards in the sky with Dad (Alf Andreoli) and if there aren´t any I´m sure they will have a great old natter over a tipple.

Sorry I can’t be with you on Friday. Once Gordie has had a catch up with Avis I’m sure he and Dad (Alf Andreoli) and he will be checking out if there are any stock sale yards up in the sky and if not enjoying a good tipple together.
