Darrell Leque
Darrell was a past member of Papanui Rotary when in charge of Bethany rest home. He was involved with the inaugural go-cart racing team that won the first trophy! Papanui also won the second year.
He was from the USA, trained as a plumber and worked in construction in Hollywood. He met Marilyn and became involved with Salvation Army before coming to NZ. The latter moved to Nelson to look after a Salvation army rest home before going to Auckland to help with drug rehabilitation.
Darrell & Marilyn were given Paul Harris awards during my year as President. He then returned to Christchurch to have treatment for a medical condition.
His service was held at the Salvation Army Citadel with the army band.
