Former Prime Minister Jim Bolger has died aged 90. His family said he died peacefully yesterday, surrounded by his nine children, 18 grandchildren and wife Joan. “Over the period of his illness, Jim and the family have greatly appreciated the support and companionship of so many friends near and far,” a statement from his family read. “Joan and family would also like to thank the renal team and all the wonderful staff at Wellington Regional Hospital and Wellington Free Ambulance for their care of Jim over recent months.The Bolger family advises that Jim Bolger has passed away at the age of 90. Jim died peacefully on 15 October, surrounded by his nine children, 18 grandchildren, and his wife, Joan. Throughout his illness, Jim and the family have greatly appreciated the support and companionship of so many friends near and far. Joan and family would also like to thank the renal team and all the wonderful staff at Wellington Regional Hospital and Wellington Free Ambulance for their care of Jim over recent months. Jim was much loved and will be deeply missed. He had been undergoing dialysis since kidney failure last year, and celebrated his 90th birthday in May with his wife Joan, their nine children and a large gathering of friends and neighbours. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said Bolger was a “towering figure in New Zealand’s political life – a leader of conviction, a reformer of consequence, and a servant of the people whose legacy has shaped our nation in profound and lasting ways".“Jim was much loved and will be deeply missed.” He had been undergoing dialysis since kidney failure last year, and celebrated his 90th birthday in May with a large gathering of family, friends and neighbours.

He leaves behind a legacy that will be studied, debated, and respected for generations.” NZ First leader Winston Peters said Bolger was a “proud, proud New Zealander who served his country as Prime Minister during a difficult period of serious transition in our politics”. Peters and Bolger led New Zealand’s first MMP Government from 1996 onwards, a coalition between NZ First and National. “As the leader of Mr Bolger’s coalition partner, I can attest he was a man of his word. He did what he said he would do - and we ran our Coalition Government with integrity, focus and a fidelity to New Zealanders who had delivered a majority to our two political parties. “Mr Bolger should be remembered warmly as a New Zealander who devoted his life to our great country.” James Brendan Bolger was born in Ōpunake, Taranaki, in 1935 - the son of Irish immigrants.
