Dave Eade described his father as an “incredible gentleman” and “eccentric genius”, who worked as an engineer.
Eade said his mum, who is in Christchurch Hospital with broken ribs, a cracked sternum with cuts and bruises, had no memory of the crash that killed her husband of 52 years. “She’s a very stoic woman. We’ve got to concentrate on getting her better.”
A police spokeswoman confirmed a 48-year-old man has been charged in relation to the crash and will appear in court on Monday.
Our thoughts are with Ann Eade and her family and friends.

We are often asked what a Men’s Shed (hereafter simply referred to as a “shed”) is, and the answer can be long!

But to put it in a rather large nutshell, a shed brings men together in one community space to share their skills, have a laugh, and work on practical tasks individually (personal projects) or as a group (for the shed or community).
The sort of projects we tackle are community projects or for the individual, examples of which include building items for pre-school centres, repairing toy library stock, building planter boxes, chicken coups, and our very popular mud kitchens and the list goes on.
One of our new creations is Coffins made from nz pine, expertly finished and unpainted and unstained. Decorate them as you see fit!
We are happy to take on new projects at the shed, all we ask in return is a donation for our time and payment for materials.
I would like to ask you all to pop to our new Face Book Page. See for yourselves what we do. Please Like and Follow our page to keep updated on what we are up to in our lovely community.
