from the Wairarapa Times-Age....Former Carterton mayor dies10:20AM - Wednesday, June 15, 2016 Gary McPhee was a sitting member of the Greater Wellington Council.A FORMER Mayor of Carterton and a sitting member of the Greater Wellington Council died suddenly at his home yesterday.
Police have confirmed the death of Gary McPhee, 60, was not regarded as suspicious and will be referred to the Coroner.
At this stage no further details have been given other than to say Mr McPhee was found dead at about 1pm at his home in rural Carterton.
Mr McPhee will be remembered as a very colourful character, who had diverse interests and who, when stepping down as Mayor of Carterton in 2010 after two terms, introduced Ron Mark to local body politics.
Mr Mark became his mayoral successor and remembers Mr McPhee as a “big guy in every way — he was superman.”
“Gary was in his happiest moments when he was helping someone else,” he said.
“He was larger than life. He's a big man, big in stature, big in heart, big on people, big on getting stuff done, and genuine, absolutely genuine.”http://www.nzherald.co.nz/wairarapa-times-age/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503414&objectid=11656892
