Minutes of Waiheke Local Board

a) acknowledge the passing of respected community leader, Ron Leonard, who contributed so much of his time volunteering in our community. Ron was involved in the Fire Service for 49 years, serving as fire chief on Waiheke for 29 years, earning him the Queen’s Service Medal. As a highly regarded member of the Waiheke community, Ron worked as the County Overseer for the Waiheke County Council, Contracts Manager for Auckland City Council and more recently as Projects Manager for Auckland Transport. Our thoughts are with his wife Laurie and his family and close friends at this sad time.
