A passionate author and a man with a sharp wit and unapologetically colourful personality who shaped New Zealand politics.

Sir Bob Jones is being remembered by friends, former MPs, and current political leaders.

The property investor, ex politician, and boxing aficionado died at his Wellington home today at 85, surrounded by family.

Sir Bob grew up in a state house and made his riches in the world of property.

Former Act MP and friend of his, Deborah Coddington told Heather du Plessis-Allan his actions were different from his words, which you shouldn't take too seriously.

She says he was very generous with his money, offering a scholarship for refugees to go to university.

Coddington says he was a realist, who always found the funny side of life.

She describes him as very well read, clued-in about world affairs and politics, and a good writer.
