"Kua whawhaitia e ahau te whawhai pai, kua omakia toku oma, kua rite I ahau te whakapono" 2 Timoti 4:7

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have kept the faith"

E te pononga o Ihowa, moe mai rā e te hoa, te pāpā, te kōroua Rev Eric Caton ki ngā ringaringa o Ihowa māna koe e okioki māna hoki tatau e tiaki e manaaki i ngā rā kei tua. Haere rā ki ōu pāpā, ōu whāea ratau katoa e tatari mai rā I te kāinga tūturu.

It is with deepest sorrow that the whānau announce the passing of Koro Eric Caton, a faithful servant of the Lord, and beloved to all those in his life.

The whānau will accompany koro from Gateways Funeral Home (17 Awatapu Drive, Whakatane) on Tuesday 12th December to Te Maungārongo Marae in Ōhope at 9am.

We welcome all whānau and friends. Koros nehu will be held on Thursday 14th December at 10am, after which he will travel to Tanatana Urupā in Waimana to be interred.
