HAAMI, Leslie Te Rihaina (Les)

Kua tau te pokeao ki runga o Taranaki maunga, ki runga o Urenui kainga. Kua riro te manu taki ata ki nga rarangi matua i te po. Kua moe te kura whakaingoingo o te iwi e. The alpine cloud has descended upon Taranaki and the village of Urenui. Our beloved singer has passed to his ancestors in the night. Our treasured loved one is at rest.

Devoted member of the band Jade. A service will be held at the Urenui Community Centre, Takiroa Street, Urenui, on Saturday 3 June 2023 at 10.00am, followed by a burial at Urenui Cemetery.
