Terence LEALAND Obituary

LEALAND,
Terence Percy (Terry, TP):
Passed away peacefully at Hawera Hospital on 11th September 2022. Aged 90 years. Beloved, cherished and admired husband of Wendy for 27 years, 27 years of exploration, adventure and endless horizons. Loved father and father-in-law of Bevin & Sally Hoogeveen (New Plymouth), Raoul & Lynn Kelsen (Kinloch), Nicola and Jeff Penner (South Lake Tahoe, California), and Dwight (deceased). Proud grandfather and great-grandfather to rising generations of kids who have inherited Terry's individuality, cleverness and sense of inquisitiveness. A celebration of Terry's life will be held at The Hub, Hawera, on Friday 16 September at 1.00pm, followed by a private cremation. Tributes can be left on Terry's tribute page at hardingsfunerals.co.nz/tributes. In lieu of flowers, please support St John's Ambulance or Hospice Taranaki. Without them, and Hawera Hospital, Terry's last journey would not have been as loving and caring as it was.
Smooth seas and following winds, my Prince of the Seas. We have been to the ends of the Earth and back again together. Cherished and loved, always.

Terry or Mr Lealand as I called him me being a young school leaver, employed me as his first ever nurse/receptionist when he purchased his business on High and Union Street, That was 60 years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed my 6 + years there. He was a great boss and even drove the car for my bridesmaids on our wedding day. Terry was a peoples person and well liked by patients and the community. Heaps of memories for me to cherish. RIP Terry. Condolences to Wendy and the Lealand family from Jennifer and Malcolm Greenhill

Terry X You will always be a prominent South Taranaki personality and icon, always to be remembered with love and kindness. With 90 years of stories and adventures, you were interesting, always curious and always ready for a good joke and giggle. You are like the Labrador of men, completely reliable, easy-going, generous with your friendship and your eyes would light up when a deserving and genuine compliment was bestowed on you.

Over the years we have shared many happy gatherings with you and Wendy, in Hawera, Wellington, Palmerston North and Napier. We have celebrated milestone birthdays, mourned the passing of our loved family and friends, our much-loved pets and welcomed the arrival of our new fur babies. You are one of our tried and true DIY Kiwis and one of the good guys. So many lovely, happy times, you will be missed but always remembered with love and gratitude for the privilege of knowing you. Terry, as I would always say when leaving you 'dont get up' - big hugs and a kiss for the road. Love and blessings to Wendy, for taking such wonderful care of Terry and condolences to the Lealand family at this sad time.

A special special man. Our acquaintance commenced up high on the corner of High and Union streets, looking down on the 'madding crowds', since I was 15 years old. Our unique greeting to each other I will cherish now forever. To you Wendy, and the family, I offer my sincere condolences. The wanderlust he enjoyed with you will be treasured forever. Rest in peace Terry- may your gentle spirit support and sustain those who meant the world to you at this time, and in the days ahead.
