Ron Hancock JP 1939 - 2010
One of our valued Trustees, RON HANCOCK JP passed away on Tuesday 27 April 2010.
Ron
was a retired dairy farmer who left school at 16 to work on his
parent’s farm. He retired in 2003 leaving the farming
up to his son and daughter in law.
Always very active in
community affairs Ron was elected onto the local Horsham Downs Hall and
Community Committee. He held all positions of responsibility at
some stage over the next 50 years and had a major role in the building
of the new community centre where his funeral will be on Tuesday 4 May.
Ron was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1979 and awarded the New Zealand Commemorative Medal for community service in 1990.
It
was through Rotary that Ron became a Trustee of the Hamilton
Hydrotherapy Pool Charitable Trust and he was a very active member of
being inducted into the 1993 inducted into the Hamilton Rotary Club and
holding a number of director positions until becoming chairman in 2001.
He was awarded a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International in 2003
with an additional sapphire pin added in 2008 and selected to the
position of Assistant Governor for area 1 of District 9930 for the
years of
2005/2007.
Ron will be sorely missed by
everyone on the Hamilton Hydrotherapy Pool Charitable Trust where he
has served since 2006. He represented Rotary International on the
Trust and quickly became the person that organized the manpower for
distribution of publicity and the erection of information
signage. Ron put his all behind every one of the
Trust’s fundraising efforts and was very committed to seeing this
project completed. It is very sad that he has not lived to see it the
Hydrotherapy Pool completed.
