Alan Bond
It is with sadness that we advise of the sudden passing of Papanui Rotary club member Alan Bond, aged 90, who served Rotary for over 46 years.
Alan joined Rotary in Timaru, being inducted into the Timaru North Rotary Club on 28th September 1972.
His educational vocation then brought him to Christchurch where he joined Papanui Rotary on the 1st of December 1979.
Over the years with Papanui, Alan served in a variety of Directorship roles and was president of the club in the 1994 -1995 Rotary year.
He was later awarded a Paul Harris fellow.
Alan was a devoted Rotarian, always ready to help and looked for ways to make our community a better place. We will all miss his wise counsel. He will be missed by all of us and fortunately we will have delight in remembering his joy in attending our Christmas function last year.
The club members offer their sincere sympathy to Adrienne and the Bond family and are ready to help wherever we are needed.
A fine example of “Service above Self”.
