Harold DUNN Obituary

On behalf of my Dad, Peter Houghton (nearly 85yrs), we wish to pass on our deepest sympathies to you Noeline and family. We were neighbours many years ago in the mid-late 60's on the Main North Road Brixton, in a dairy factory house. Jim was a tanker driver when Dad was a casein assistant in the Clifton Dairy Factory. Dad also recalls Brian being a truck driver and sometimes on the tankers. Stephanie and I used to dress your kittens up in dolls clothes and push them around in the prams with Lynette (we recalled your name was Lynley) & Marlene. Thinking of you all. Peter Houghton, Stefny (dec 2010), Michelle, & Kerry

Condolences to Noeline and the Dunn family.
Jim was a wonderful friend and neighbour to us on the Auroa Road.
Kind regards Jean, John and Linda le Fleming

To all of the Dunn family, hold tight to your special memories, to the lessons he taught you and the influence he had in your lives and his legacy will live on. What a wonderful tribute and send off Jim had today. To Jims brother Brian, your musical tribute today as you farewelled your wonderful brother and friend, was extremely moving. What a talented family you all were. Thank you Jim for your guidance and support during my years carting stock for Sandford Bros you certainly lightened the load for many of us. Rest in eternal peace Jim

Sincerest Sympathy to all the Dunn Family on the passing of Jim. What a wonderful celebration of his life held today and so many people there. Which was indicative of the lovely warm man he was. He was a great asset to the Auroa community during his time there. RIP Jim. Andy and Bev Davy.

An apology if incorrect. With a brother Brian, I believe Jim was a piper in the very early years of the City of New Plymouth Pipe Band. If correct - my sincere sympathy to Noeline and family, also Brian, with fond memories of our piping days in the late 1940's and early 1950's.

To Noelene and family, so very sorry for your loss. Jim was such an amazing person and holds a very special place in my heart. Such wonderful memories on the farm during my childhood and so blessed to have been able to have my children meet and visit with both Jim and Noelene, who also have fond memories of that time. Sending our love to all.

To all the Dunn families.Jim was such a gentle man and a gentleman. Always that cheeky smile.Always up for a chat. Lots of memories if tge Dunn family in Auroa district.
Deepest sympathy to you all.

A wonderful cheery man has passed from us. What a blessing and great example of how to live you taught us Jimmy. The years bring change to our connections we form wirth folks over the years, but through it all the memories remain. We will enjoy eachother's company, and laugh once again over some silly situation, or more likely for you and I, no reason at all. My condolences to you and yours Noeline- soon the skies will clear, and we will see the new bright star in the heavens above us called 'Jimmy Dunn' . Arohanui to you and family.

Remembering the many times and fun experiences we had as young boys when the Dunn and Goble families were growing up in the Lepperton district- Once we all grew up and went our separate ways we just lost contact.

Condolences to the Dunn family, our thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Deepest Sympathy to the family. Always remembered for his love of family and community . Wilma Harrop & family.

It always brings back memories when one reads of the death of an old school friend. Both Jim and Noeline were a bit senior to me at Lepperton School but very well respected by both staff and pupils, someone for us to aspire to.
Noeline, and your family, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences too to the Dunn and Symes families.
Love to you all,
Janet Finer. (nee Hunger).
