We are very sad to acknowledge the passing of our dear friend Ray Mackle.
He is pictured in the middle of this group of tamariki from Paekākāriki School alongside his wife Irene.
Ray has been a staunch worker and community stalwart as trustee for the Philipp Family Foundation.
Over 12 years of supporting us to deliver our annual Kāpiti school children’s art and environment project with Ngā Manu Nature Reserve, he has brought his gentle presence, sharp mind and down to earth sense of humour, and will be greatly missed.
