HARRé, Dr John NormanC.N.Z.M. (for services to education)

On Tuesday 7 February 2023 at Waitakere Hospital, aged 91. A long life of adventure, service and creativity has come to an end. John’s wife Gitti, children Niki, Chris, Laila, Ivan and Sophia and their partners Keith, Carol, Barry, Elizabeth and Nick give thanks for the love, encouragement, friendship and many skills he has shared. Alongside his grandchildren Nick, Sam, Rita, Joshua, Dillon, Max, Jack, Carla, Mirabelle and Margaux and great-grandchildren Penny, Isla, Eve, Jude and Molly, we acknowledge those who have passed before him, walked with him, and whose knowledge, stories, labour and aroha have sustained him. We pay respect to the lands and waters that have nourished him, especially in Aotearoa, Fiji and Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. A celebration of John’s life and contribution will be held at The West End Rowing Club on Monday 13 February 2023 at 2pm. 26 Saunders Place, Avondale, Auckland. In lieu of flowers, a kindness to others, in any way, with John in your thoughts.
