The avid wrestler and elderly advocate died on Monday, aged 95. His daughter, Donna Looyen, told the Rotorua Daily Post her father would be remembered for his impact on New Zealand wrestling and contribution to Grey Power Rotorua. I think the world is going to be a lesser place without dad. He was a force to be reckoned with and everybody who knew him loved him.
Hawkey lived in Rotorua with his family from about 1983, initially moving to buy local skating rink Skate World.
