Paul Cressey, a former member of our Club, a founding member of Half Moon Bay Rotary and a President there, passed away in Auckland Hospital Wednesday morning following a fall, injuring his head, at Mudbrick on Waiheke Island on Tuesday
Paul will be sorely missed by those of us who worked closely with him over the years. He was an outstanding leader in Community affairs and has led many inspiring projects over a long period.
His devotion to service above self for the good of the Community is a marvellous example of a Rotarian leading by example and commitment. Over many years he has served often as Chairman, most notably Ronald Mcdonald House at Auckland Hospital, Life Education Trust, Counties Manukau DHB, to name a few.
In recent times his leadership has been outstanding in the development of the local Men’s Shed at The Howick Historical Village, which is due to be completed in the next couple of weeks after a long period of commitment.
He was a tireless worker for Rotary and our local and wider community.
We will miss Paul’s leadership
The details for Paul’s funeral are yet to be finalised but will probably be held at the Yacht Club next Tuesday.
