• Notes

  OBITUARY Hawke's Bay businessman and environmentalist Pat Turley has been remembered for his "indefatigable leadership" and work within the community. Turley died last Tuesday, aged 58, after suffering a medical event while mountain biking on Te Mata Peak. He and his wife own Hawke's Bay property analyst and valuation firm Turley and Co, which has been involved in a number of large projects across the district. Turley also volunteered a lot of time to community trusts such as Cranford Hospice Trust and Maraetotara Tree Trust. His wife Sue Turley said he would be sorely missed by many. "He loved life to the absolute max and was incredibly community-minded and a beautiful family man." She said he had a real "thirst for knowledge and learning", which he had passed on to his three children. "Pat became a trustee of the trust in 2008. He was chairman from 2014 until 2020. During this time the trust grew under Pat's indefatigable leadership to receiving corporate, government and private sponsorship that allowed us to plant up to 10,000 trees a year. As well as his incredibly hard work for the trust, Pat was also a great conversationalist. "He always had an appropriate anecdote or story to tell to illustrate a point he wanted to make. His presence on the trust will be sorely missed. As our kaumatua Kepa Toa appropriately put it 'Kua hinga he totara i te wao nui a Tane'." The trust also stated that it was "perhaps appropriate that he left us among the trees and birds he so loved". In an obituary published at the weekend, his family said "a great totara has fallen". Turley has also been a big part of Cranford Hospice Trust's push to raise $15 million for a new hospice between Napier and Hastings. A celebration of his life will be held on Friday in Havelock North. Turley moved to Hawke's Bay in 1995 from Auckland, and grew up in King Country.
