WHITE, Richard Patrick:
Of Paraparaumu. Peacefully at Wellington Hospital, on Thursday, 10 February 2022. Aged 76 years. Dearly loved husband of Fran. Loved father and father-in-law of Rebecca & Rory, and Gemma & Ben. Very much loved Grandpa of Isla, Conor, Lucas, and Madeline. Special thanks to all the medical teams involved in Richard's care. A private service has taken place.In the classic words of Monty Python.
Richard has passed on! He is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! HE IS AN EX-PARROT!!
