The Voice for Vehicle Importers
Vale Gerald Lawrence

Dear <<First Name>>

VIA is sad to report the passing of Gerald Edward George Lawrence (Gerald) in his 81st year.

Gerald was the inaugural General Manager of VINZ and led the company from its start up in the early 1990s until his retirement in November 2003.

Gerald took VINZ from a start-up that focused on entry certification through to a company that provides a range of services in addition to entry certification including WoF, CoF A & B, and public counter services for the NZTA.

Gerald was well liked by his staff who he treated as family, with many Friday afternoon BBQs held at the various bases around the country, plus memorable Christmas dinners for all the staff and their partners, he was also well respected by the whole industry.

Gerald's funeral will be held at 11.00am tomorrow, Friday 29 November at All Souls Chapel, Purewa, 100/102 St Johns Road, Saint Johns Auckland.

Gerald is now reunited with his loving wife Maureen who pre-deceased him.
