Thursday January 11 2024 7 ‘He was diligent and passionate’ RECOGNISED: In 2021, Ross Houliston received a Waipuna Halswell-Hornby- Riccarton Community Board services award. • From page 1 Ross died at home, and a family gathering was held last Monday followed by a private cremation. Marc Duff, former residents association chairperson, also took to Facebook to post: “Sadly the news before New Year’s that none of us wanted to hear, was the passing of Ross Houliston . . . Firstly though my thoughts go out to Marilyn and her family. “It has always been a pleasure to call around to the Houliston house and always get a warm welcome and a ‘can you help me with my computer’. The mark of the man is despite being incredibly sick himself in recent times, he always asked first, whenever we talked on the phone, how were my mum and dad. “He was diligent and passionate about his work for the Hornby community he loved so much. He would not be afraid to give the local community board or city council a tune-up if he thought they needed it but he always gained their respect with his passion, knowledge, and wisdom.” Duff said Ross “took on the might of waste management” and “stopped a hazardous waste treatment and stabilisation plant being built in Hornby South”, and his sense of humour was “always never far away”. He was also an advocate for ALL ON BOARD: Hornby now has its own Noddy train, thanks to Ross. Below – one of Marc Duff’s favourite photos of Ross is of him cutting the Noddy train cake. the green turning arrow at Amyes Rd. Peters said Ross worked hard to successfully get the 1974 Commonwealth Games logo on the Denton Park grandstand sign. Said Duff: “The community has benefited through Ross and Marilyn in that Hornby and the GHRA now have their own Noddy train, thanks to their foresight. What an honour to see the master in action and increase my knowledge and learnings, especially around quarries and their impact on residents. “Ross, you may have passed but your fight to make the Hornby community the best it can be will go on and you will always be close to our thoughts and that’s the greatest legacy you left – you left our community in a stronger state.” REPRESENT: Ross and Duff at a city council meeting.
