George died at his home on Tapsell Rd, surrounded by whānau, about 11am on Monday.
Whānau spokesman Willie Te Aho said George was a man who walked his talk when it came to being a good Christian and upholding his Māori values. That augured well in terms of the work he did in the community, Te Aho said.
Advertisement Not only in terms of the work he did with his marae, his hapū, his iwi but also the wider community as well. He ll be sadly missed because of that aroha and manaakitanga.
