It is with deep regret that I advise you of the passing of Retired Life Member Owen Dunkin , Masterton Fire Brigade.
Owen was a volunteer in the Masterton Fire Brigade from 1953 to 1997.
He received his Gold Star in 1985 after some broken service from his original start date.
He was made a life honorary member of the Masterton Brigade at the time he retired from service in 1997 and is remembered as a very dedicated and regular member of the volunteer unit.
A service to celebrate Owens life will be held at Pickering Funeral Service, Corner of Walton Avenue and High Street, Kuripuni, Masterton , on Thursday 22nd August 2019 at 1.30pm.
At this sad time we extend our sincere condolences to Owens’s Family and Friends
Rest in Peace Owen
Kind Regards
John May
