William BANKS

Auckland

Posted 23 September 2026

BANKS, William (Bill). It is with great sadness that I share the passing of my dad, William (Bill) Banks, who passed away peacefully yesterday, 21 September, after a short illness. Dad was a lovely, kind and gentle man. I feel very lucky to have had him as my dad and to have shared so many years and memories together. He was also a special part of Michelle and Ryen's lives, and we will all miss him dearly. After a short time of being unwell, Dad has now found peace and will be laid to rest alongside my mum, his late wife, Wilma (Billy) Banks. Rest peacefully, Dad. I will miss you always. Paul Banks
