Kerry LASH Obituary
It is with deep sadness the family acknowledge the passing of Kerry Lash on 13th July 2025. A loving husband to Lyn, a special father to Chris and Bobbie, and Grandad to John, Kate, Abby, Amy, Steven, Kieran. A man who loved his family and did little things for people without expecting anything in return. Mad on his rugby, and was very proud of his Waitara High School rugby team.
Kerry has been farewelled in a private family service. Messages may be sent to Bobbie Henry, 25 Cracroft Street, Waitara 4320.
"Miss me a little - but not too long
and not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we shared
– miss me, but let me go"

So sad to learn of Kerry's passing. Sincere condolences to Lyn, Chris, Bobbie and families. Kerry and I were classmates all through our schooling at Waitara Central and then moved on to Waitara High. Always a friendly, chatty and cheerful guy when we met up around town over the years. Like most of the older people in the town i have fond memories of Lash's Dairy when Kerry's parents were the owners. A meat pie and donut for lunch was an occasional treat and always looked forward to. Also remember eating the centre out of the fresh loaf of bread on my way home after collecting it from Lash's. (Mum was NOT happy!!) I know a lot of people will recall memories of Kerry and smile. RIL my friend.

My thoughts are with the Lash family at this sad time for them. I played rugby with Kerry at Clifton and he was a good leader as well as a champion man. the Lash family certainly made their mark on Waitara and Kerry will be sadly missed by many RIP Kerry

Our sincere sympathy to Lyn and families. Betty and I go back to our school days from primary to high school days. From the days of getting a pie and doughnut of a Monday at the Lash family store as kids. So it's a lot of memory lane stuff that was great. Betty and Tony McGreal
