MR C. J. G. GOODE Mr Cyril Joseph Goodman Goode, who died recently at the age of 65, had many civic interests. Born at Marshland, of a Methodist family, he was a keen churchman all his life and a member of the choir of the East Belt Methodist Church. For more than 30 years he was associated with the Norwich Union insurance societies. He was a member of the Christchurch Rugby Football Club and of the Canterbury Aero Club. Through his interest in music he became a president of the Christchurch Competitions Society. Although not eligible for overseas service in the Second World War, he gave much time for the benefit of servicemen on the Patriotic Board and was later a deputy-chairman of the Rannerdale Home. He was honoured by the Returned Services’ Association with honorary membership and with an address for his services, a certificate of merit was awarded to him by the New Zealand Home Servicemen's Association.

Mr Goode is survived by his wife and five children.
