He returned to Mullet Point about 40 years ago, where he resided up to the time of his death. Mr Goldsworthy always took a keen interest in local public affairs, being for some years chairman of the Mahurangi East School Committee, and was a very devoted Church worker for many years, acting as steward of the Methodist Church. Being popular and highly respected his passing will be regretted by a large number of friends. The interment took place at the Mullet Point cemetery, the burial service being conducted by the Rev. D.
