Tom GREEN Obituary

Passed away peacefully in the company of family, at age 87, on August 9, 2025. Born in New Mills, High Peak, England, June 28, 1938. Tom was a beloved father and father-in law to David, Clare, John and Pia. He delighted in his grandchildren Ro, Sandra, Georgia, Robin and Katie, and his great-grandchildren Oliver, Billie, Theodore, Remi, Maika and Nevin, and beloved friend Sheena, each one holding a special place in his heart as they held him in theirs. Tom loved and was cherished by Joan (Pope, now deceased), his dear friend and former wife. His family and friends will all hold him close at heart and greatly miss his company and humour. We hope he can now enjoy some well earned peace and quiet. A simple service has been held in accordance with Tom's wishes and can be viewed on Shone and Shirley tribute page https://www.shoneandshirley.co.nz/tributes. Messages for Tom's family, c/o Clare and John Moody, 61 Cleveland Terrace, Nelson 7010. In accordance with their wishes, Tom will be buried next to Joan on November 8 at the beautiful Marsden Valley Cemetery, Nelson, NZ, when David visits. The family wish to acknowledge and thank Brenda and all the team at Nelson Tasman Hospice for their exceptional care and compassion as they supported Tom over the last year.
