William DARLING Obituary

Sad to hear of his passing.

Condolences from the Nelson A & P Association.
Will joined our committee in 2015, was a president of the association for 2 years and resigned in 2020 due to his health. His support of Richmond Park, home of the association, was greatly appreciated.

I met Wil several years ago aat his home in Ruby Bay. Over time we became good mates and I always enjoyed talking with him about his farm and life.
We were fortunate to stay at Darling Park over the summer holidays, with Wil making us feel very welcome. It was good to know he managed to stay in Ruby Bay until his passing. He loved the place and he will be missed.

I knew Keith very well and was pleased to be his friend for the past 30 years. We spent many weekends at our place in the Sounds where he loved to spend most of his day building trails and walking in the bush. He was a complicated person and that perhaps led to his liking the Sounds where he could unwind. He will be missed.

Vale Keith. So many fond memories our time as teachers, in athletics and at your old farmhouse back in Dunedin. We will always remember your enthusiasm and humour. Rest In Peace.

Farewell Will, from your North Shore friends who first met with you on our Central Europe Tour back in 2012. That friendship maintained from that time on. Many memorable, fun and hard working times were had in Ruby Bay, and on the North Shore, and lots of phone times and lots of laughs. Thank you for all that. You are missed, and will always be in our thoughts. Our condolences to family. Neville & Kathy.

My dear friend Willy, Rest In Peace, you fought to the end tending your farm, such an inspiration and friend to many in Ruby bay, I called you the mayor. Such a character who will be missed so much...my condolences to family...Carolyn

I worked with Keith at Talleys many years ago and enjoyed his company along with many laughs.Caught up with him on numerous times around Mapua, always good for a chat etc.

Very sad to hear of Keith´s passing. I worked closely with him many years ago during his time at Talleys, a lovely man.
