To Gillian and family, I am so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. Thinking of you and your family during this time, and wishing you strength and comfort.

So sad to hear of Bills passing. A top bloke I had the privilege to work with and around. Always ready to share a yarn or two.

The Hawera Country & Variety Music Club wishes to acknowledge the passing of Bill Colville. For several years, Bill was a vital supporter of our group as the provider of our hall. He didn’t just give us a place to play; he helped provide a home for our music and our community. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this time.

Sad to hear this news. Got nice memories. Condolences to the family. Sally murray

Dear Aunty Joan and all the family. Sending you the sincerest condolences at this very sad time. I will remember Uncle William as a fun loving character, always cheerful & happy. He totally loved & was devoted to all his family in NZ. And never forgot his and Aunty Joan's family & friends in the Wee Toon. Tonight in NZ, you'll be toasting him with a few wee swallies 🥃to the dearest gentlest man. Reminiscing and telling stories of wonderful memories made over the years. I'll be toasting him too with the 🔔 🔔 All my love Eleanor & family xx

Dear Joan and Family We are very sorry to hear of Bills passing, we have very fond memories of our time together in Hawera. Thinking of you all at this time. Archie Murray and Family

To Joan, Caroline, Gillian, Robbie & Kristy, and families, I am so sorry for your loss. May you call on the memories you made together and please look after each other, especially Joan. I had the pleasure of working with Bill at the power board, and on other jobsites as well. Pipe bands, and ties to Campbelltown were also touchpoints. Bill was such a gentleman and all-round good person. Always freely giving of advice and humour. Bill, you didn’t quite make it to Hogmanay this year, so I will be raising a parting glass to you. Go well, kind sir. You will be truly missed.

Condolences to Joan and the family thinking of your all at this sad time. Will get in touch at a later date
