Paul Te Aroha Emile "Solomon" KELLY

Paul KELLY Obituary

Kua tū a Aituā, kua hinga te Tōtara i te wao nui a Tāne.
Kei te tangi tonu te ngākau, e tangi ana hoki ngā manu o te ngahere.
He tao huata e taea te karo, he tao nā aituā e kore.
E te ika i te ati, takoto mai nā, takoto mai, takoto mai. Nā wai, nā wai koe haere atu rā ki tō Hawaikī, ki reira moe mai rā moe mai rā, okioki rā.

Really sad to hear of Paul´s passing and our thoughts and condolences go out to the family. I hadn´t seen Paul for a long while due to living in Tauranga but called into Wellington hospital in March to see my brother Chris only to find that Paul was in the same room so managed to have a bit of a catch up. Chris did say he really enjoyed being in the same room as Paul and I think it made both there stay in hospital just that little bit easier.
Rest in peace Paul
