Tributes

Our sincere sympathy to Andrew, Joe, Kip and families; Thelma and family. Shona and I have known John for over 60 years and it was through him that we were brought together when I was his best man and Shona bridesmaid at his wedding to Raewyn. He has always remained a close friend and we have kept in contact with him especially in recent years through Facetime. We will miss you John but you will always be in our thoughts. Shona & Bob Chinnock, Adelaide
