Dennis McGRATH Obituary

Passed peacefully on his 80th birthday, January 25, 2025, after a short illness. Dennis's request to die at home was managed by his daughter, Lynette Hirst, with assistance from the wonderful team at Access, Nelson Tasman Hospice and Stoke Medical. Dennis lived a full, high-octane life and will be remembered well by his family, friends and work colleagues of the past. Dennis wanted to be cremated, and his ashes will be placed beside Margaret, his wife of 58 years, in Richmond Cemetery. Dennis will be missed by all.
