Vale Sam Neill

[mike carey]

“It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney Australia. Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life.

“The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free. They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care."

The acclaimed actor had been a feature of television and cinema for almost 50 years. He was also the operator of a quirky farm in Central Otago, where he also produced high quality cool climate wines under the Two Paddocks label. I was lucky enough to be able to buy a case of their 2018 Pinot Noir several years ago.

I think I can feel a movie marathon coming on.
