Gary HOLMES Obituary
25.10.1933 - 19.10.2021 (Almost 88)
Passed peacefully at home with family at his side. Loved husband (60+ years) of Marie; loved Dad of Michelle, and Daryl, and much loved Poppa of Aleisha. Brother, brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, and dear friend to many. A tribute to a full life of adventure as a cricketer, rugby player, golfer, bushman, surveyor, civil engineer and avid gardener (we will miss those tomatoes and red onions).
R.I.P. Gazza.
You will be dearly
missed by all.
As per Gary's wishes a private cremation ceremony has been held and a life celebration get- together will be scheduled in the coming weeks. Messages to 13 Torlesse Street, Enner Glynn, Nelson 7011 or email [email protected]

Fondly remembered stalwart team member at MWD. Thank you for your idea of skiving off to watch cricket at Christchurch. Started a lifelong passion for me.

To Marie and family,
My thoughts are with you at this sad time. I worked with Gary in the early 60's, he was a great mentor and I learnt a lot from him.

Owe him a great deal. Gary put together our rugby trip to Australia in 1973 which changed young lives. RIP.

Marie, Daryl & Michelle. So sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I will always remember with fondness the ten years that I had the privilege of working alongside Gary at 'Works". He was a respected manager, work mate and good friend. My thoughts are with you all at this time.

Its with a heavy heart I read online this morning of Gary's passing. To Marie, Michelle and Daryl we send our deepest condolences and know we are thinking of you all at this very sad time. Kev had the privilege of working with Gary in the Office for many years at Works. He was a genuine good ole bugger who will be sorely missed. Its time to take a rest mate and someone else will look after that vege garden for you. Thanks for the memories♡
Cheers
Kev & Marg Jones♡
