Nicholas Gerard (Nick) Hassan
On 28 July 2025, at Ashwood Park aged 77.
Nick Hassan a generous, kind, thoughtful and skilled (now retired) general practitioner.
Nick showed compassion, made connections with his patients and truly cared for their welfare and that of their loved ones. A ‘safe pair of hands’, he delivered many babies in the Blenheim area through the years. Nick was dearly loved and will be missed by his seven children and their partners Paul and Alex,
Sarah and Matt, Damian and Laura, Carmel, Rose and Nick, Natalie and Sam, Francis and Lisa,
including 19 beloved grandchildren and his siblings. Nick said goodbye to his wife Margaret Hassan following 50 years of happy marriage in 2022 and was doubly blessed to meet and marry Jean Main
in 2024, whom he also treasured. Nick was a respected member of many community groups through the years and as a lover of singing, he was a stalwart member of the Marlborough Sounds Barbershop Chorus and more recently The Savvy Singers.
We are so grateful for his life, and the impact he had on those who knew him.
He surely was one of a kind!
