Sir Wilson at a function of the Foundation

The trustees and members of the Young New Zealanders Foundation wish to express our deepest sympathy to Lady Whineray and her family on the death of Sir Wilson. In addition to his many distinguished achievements in sporting and commercial endeavours Sir Wilson was also very dedicated to many charitable causes. Among them was his loyal commitment to the Young New Zealanders Foundation for which we are sincerely grateful. His support was of enormous assistance in our projects to improve the prospects for the young people of our country. He will be sadly missed.

To Lady Elisabeth and family we convey our condolences at the loss of a very fine husband, father, grandfather and sportsman.
