I am so sorry to hear of your passing John. You were a very funny man. I have known you for a number of years in the Insurance Industry. RIP. Love Kim.

Whenever he dropped in he always cheered the place up. It was always a pleasure to see him.

There was never a dull moment hanging around with Dad. Nothing was off-limits in order to provoke a reaction - good, bad or otherwise. Irreverent, shocking, funny, ribald and rude. A massive heart and generous beyond measure. It was crazy just how many people this man knew from the many circles he travelled. An intense curiosity for people and their stories ensured that he touched many lives. I shall miss him greatly as will all the family. An indomitable spirit.

We cannot express how shocked and saddened we were to hear the news that our dear friend John had passed. We now have a big empty space in our lives but we have our beautiful Jean to help carry on his memory. You gave us so many happy memories over the years we knew you and will be forever thankful for the mentorship and friendship that enriched our lives. We will never forget you John and promise to keep Jean safe and loved 💕

Thank you John for making my dearest friend happy, enriching her life with your love and great sense of fun. You will be greatly missed, especially by Jean, your friends and family. Go well knowing the great love and joy you brought to many lives.☺💖

Well, the Mighty Oak has fallen. Just as it leaves a mighty gap in the forest, John old mate you have left a mighty gap in our lives. You were one of a kind in a most delightful irreverent way. We miss your sense of cheek and your passion for life. Rest in peace dear friend. Kath & Chris

John we only got to meet you once but you left a lasting impression on us both. yours andxJeans hospitality was 2nd to none .we hoped to get up to Auckland again but covid hit and work prevented us from doing so .we heard about the fun you both had together and your fulfilled cruises Thinking of you Jean xx

So sadly missed brother-in-law. I have known John for almost 60 years, and what a gap in our lives. John was always over the top and totally outrageous. He could be relied on to embarrass us all, and we loved him for that! Truly one of a kind. The mould has been broken. He is irreplaceable.

To think that we've only met eight months ago, you certainly made a big impression in our life, this will be one friendship to treasure forever. Thank you for coming into our lives and making it so rich, we'll always remember the big voice and the big laugh, the sharp mind and all the meaningful conversation s that always interesting and joyful to listen to. We regret deeply your early departure from our lives, thank you for all the great memories they will be with us for ever, we'll keep an eye on your Jeanie. RIP Good Friend. Tom & Jill

On Tuesday 23 of August our life changed for ever when our dear John Flyger passed away. Aww John where do I start. You were the man with the biggest heart and voice. You could change the mood in a room in second and not always in a good way 😂. Your sense of humour was one of a kind and something that many people will miss. You always had endless knowledge and worldly stories to tell. John I thank you for the love and the beautiful life that you and mum created together and how you loved Briar and Nicholas as they were your own. Life will never be the same without you. John you were one very special person and that has definitely shown over the last few days as everyone hearts are so broken. John I promise to look after your Jeanie for you, we love you so much and we are extremely heartbroken to have you take so soon. John you had so many more adventures to have with mum and Briar and Nicholas had so many more stories to hear. John fly high and for goodness sake don’t cause too much trouble up there. Love you lots and lots ❤️❤️❤️❤️
