Crossed the bar

Passing of Henare Rama Hawe

Regret to advise the Henare Rama Hawe crossed the bar last night. Our thoughts go out to Michelle and her family.  Henara joined the RNZN on 6 September 1966 and discharged as a Chief Petty  Officer Electronic Warfare Supervisor on 30 April 1979.  On joining the Navy he was a Junior Recruit Radio Operator and changed over the Electronic Warfare trade at Leading Rate.  He served in TAMAKI, OTAGO, PHILOMEL IRIRANGI KAHAWAI, WAKEFIELD, CANTERBURY and TASMAN.  Details of Tangi will be posted when known.
