Vale @TAB For Ever (aka The Pollyanna of things nz racing...) Tributes for former Nelson business and sports leader Gary Williams Gary Williams managed the Nelson Giants basketball team for several years, bringing his trademark yarns, humour and energy to the role. Photo: Supplied Former businessman and sports administrator Gary Williams has been remembered as a passionate Nelsonian who brought humour and “wonderful energy” to his roles. Williams, aged 72, died in Auckland a week ago after swimming at Kohimarama Beach. In a written tribute, his son comedian Guy Williams, said his father “went out in typical showman fashion, having a heart attack during a swim with his mates at the ‘high tide club’.” Williams said his father was a “beautiful, incredibly kind and friendly man”. Guy Williams with his dad Gary on his show “I think it’s high praise to say he was always friendly and happy and seemed to live to just want to make everyone around him feel happy.” Gary Williams outside the Nelson McDonald’s he owned and operated in 2006. Photo: Phil Barnes / Nelson Mail Gary Williams grew up in Otago where he developed his love of sports, including representing the province in cricket. After a world trip, during which he met his wife Roseanne in Bermuda, the couple moved to Nelson where they had three children, Guy, Maria and Paul. Williams trained as an accountant and went on to be a successful business owner/operator of two McDonald’s restaurants in Nelson and Tāhunanui. He turned his sporting talents to administration, managing the Nelson Giants basketball team for several years through the 2010s.

Guy Williams, shown with sister and fellow comedian Maria Williams, said their father Gary gave them an “irreverent sense of humour”. Photo: RICKY WILSON / Stuff Guy Williams said his dad gave his children every opportunity to do whatever they wanted in life. “I think he wanted us to be athletes but we didn’t have the talent for that, so he ended up with three comedians,” Guy Williams said. “I think we get our irreverent sense of humour from Dad who was always funny and trying to make people laugh. Gotta emphasise the word ‘trying’ which he always taught me was the secret.“ When his playing days were over, Guy said his dad became their coach who taught the local school kids his wisdom: “Ability is one thing, reliability is everything”. “That’s a decent quote for life I reckon. I learned a lot from my dad as a coach, he was a patient and thoughtful leader, who didn’t have time for dickheads.“ More local stories from the Nelson Mail Read more Guy Williams said Gary was a legendary road manager/water boy of his beloved Nelson Giants and later a table tennis administrator around Auckland. “Gazza bloody loved horse racing his entire life, and enjoyed spending Friday nights wandering around the stables yarning to horse people about horses,” Guy Williams said. He was a small time investor in many successful race horses, most notably Xcellent who ran third at the Melbourne Cup. Gary Williams’ funeral will be held at St Ignatius Church in St Heliers, Auckland next Saturday. - Nelson Mail -
