James HOLDEN Obituary

HOLDEN, James Thomas:
21.12.1937 - 25.12.2021
The Family of "Jim" wish to thank all who acknowledged the passing of this wonderful man. The staff who helped care for Jim in his home for as long as possible. Thank you so much, Leah, Ange, Pam, Kass, Sue, Gill, Ani, Andrea and Stretch. Beattie Home's new unit for providing a lovely space for Jim and visitors. The Drs who were very patient with a stubborn personality. Anne Farnell and others from the Te Kuiti and Otorohanga medical centres. VJ Williams & Sons. for your attention to Jim and the family. Nga Mihi ki Nga whanau mo tenei Taonga. All those people who supported and nourished family and visitors. Thank you Mere, Missy and Robert for your constant hovering and keeping things right. Miria Tauariki and Aaron Anderson Tena Korua. Dave, Dan, Geoff, Luke, and many others who were loved by Jim as if his own. Who came and laughed and cried together. Thank you for all the flowers and cards, too numerous to respond to personally, but acknowledged. And to all those awesome friends and family not mentioned here. While Jim may have left this world, his influence will remain with us for many years. He leaves his loved Micky, Tutu and AJ. And now 3 great grandies. The daughters in law who kept him on his toes, Dee and Pauline. Jim gave his love freely to so many people. None moreso than his precious "Boys" Lawrence, Warren and Richard. At last he can be with his beloved Clare and son Richard.
