Tributes

Remembering the good times we had together in Russell, John...Gone to early, RIP.

Dave & Sue Christie

Rest in Peace Johnny. Thank you for all the great Vosges to Kawau 😊

Anne

We have many memories of trips back and forth to Schoolhouse Bay over the years in the water taxis and Johnny's own boat. He was a great sailor and a real Kawau character.

Clare Barnes

Dear Johnny, you were our rock for many years bringing us regularly to Vivian Bay. Always friendly & cheerful with a delightful sense of humour. Nothing was too much for you & it was always executed with a smile. I’ll miss your cheerful smile & greetings when we met, all too infrequently over the past year or so. RIP

Joanna & Staniland West

RIP Johnny Houseboat. One of the first people we met when we arrived on Kawau Island in 2000. An amazing character, always up for an adventure. Condolences to Ann and his family. Kindest regards, Jude Wood and family.
