Vance Williams
1994 - 2011

With sadness we learned of the tragic accident and loss of life in Waihi a week ago. Vance Williams was a long standing member of the Waihi Inline Hockey Club, and a member of the silver medal winning 2010 Under 18 team. Heartbreaking for family members known to our inline hockey community and players who have played with and against teams Vance has been involved in. Our deepest sympathy to Vance's family for their loss. The service held in Waihi Beach last week bore testament to Vance's popularity with a large number of family and friends attending from Waihi, surrounding areas and further afield. A special guard of honour for Vance with players from Waihi, New Plymouth, Tauranga, Auckland and Hamilton was a wonderful tribute as the service completed. RIP Vance.
