Upper Hutt rugby community mourning loss of David Painter
The Upper Hutt sporting community is mourning the loss of David Painter, a much-admired figure in rugby and cricket, and father-in-law of Wallabies coach Dave Rennie.
Painter died on Tuesday at Hutt Hospital, aged 79. He was a father of three, grandfather and great grandfather.
Known as "Paints" he spent more than 30 years in the police force and rose to senior sergeant, after being chief dog handler and helping establish the police dog training centre at Trentham, Upper Hutt.
He was a life member of the Upper Hutt Rams.
