Mayor to Present Condolence Book to Lady Morrison
ROTORUA 12.10.09: The names and personal memories of
several hundred Rotorua people have been recorded in a
special condolence book for the late Sir Howard Morrison.
Mayor Kevin Winters is planning to personally present
the book to Lady Kuia Morrison and the Morrison family on
behalf of the Rotorua community.
The book was made
available for the public to sign by the Rotorua District
Council in the council Civic Centre during the week
following the recent death of Sir Howard.
“The
condolence book is crammed from cover to cover with very
personal messages, memories and reflections from people of
all walks of life.
“It’s particularly touching
to read heartfelt messages from Rotorua residents who had
never personally met Sir Howard but to whom he clearly meant
so much. This is testament to the qualities of the man
himself and how he touched the lives of so many people over
six generations.
“They remember him as an
entertainer, campaigner, cultural ambassador, philanthropist
passionate promoter of Rotorua and New Zealand, and a great
New Zealander.”
Mayor Winters said he is looking
forward to delivering the condolence book to Lady Morrison
as he was sure it would be treasured by Sir Howard's whanau
as a very personal expression of aroha from the people of
Rotorua.
