Tributes

I met John once a few years ago on a weekend trip to Nelson with Jo. What a lovely, refined and gentle man he was. An amazing man with a life well lived. A man so dearly loved by family and friends. Jo you are a dear friend, along with Grant and the girls - such a loving family. Lots of love to you all, cherish the happy memories now and forever.

Good-bye Uncle John. I still remember you driving me around Dunedin in your Porsche. Drive that Porsche to your favourite tramping spot and keep walking. Thinking of you, Jackie, Jo and Matt
