Tim was the embodiment<br />
of living life to the full,<br />
no matter what.<br />
—Ben Lucas<br />
an incredible man. To have played such a small part in his<br />
life was an honour and a privilege. For Tim to have had<br />
such a huge impact on my life was also an honour<br />
and a privilege.<br />
Mr Allan Bean, former orthopaedic surgeon in the<br />
Burwood Spinal Unit<br />
I didn’t know Tim personally, but I remember him fondly<br />
when he was a patient in the Burwood Spinal Unit.<br />
Whenever Tim visited the unit he would be treated with<br />
awe and respect by staff and patients. His determination<br />
to overcome his disability was inspiring.<br />
While in the spinal unit Tim continued to run his deer<br />
business from his bedside using a radio/telephone set. He<br />
was supported by the director of the spinal unit at the<br />
time, Bill Utley. I remember Tim arriving by helicopter<br />
one day, he parked on the lawn near the spinal unit and<br />
went directly to Bill Utley’s office.<br />
PROUD—Former NZST CEO Ben Lucas said that Sir Tim Wallis<br />
and Lady Prue made a big impact on his life.<br />
Another memory is when Tim flew his Spitfire around the<br />
spinal unit, it was a great display watched with interest by<br />
patients and staff. However he got into trouble with Civil<br />
Aviation Authority (CAA) for flying below 500 feet!<br />
