Bill passed away on Monday morning aged 108. He served in the Air Force's engineering service in the Pacific during WW2.
Earlier this year, Bill received his first Covid-19 vaccine jab as part of the Canterbury District Health Board's vaccination rollout to Aged Residential Care facilities in June.
Mitchell, who was five-years-old when the flu pandemic swept New Zealand in 1918, was one of 90 residents at the Palm Grove Rest Home in Christchurch to get vaccinated.
