Sorry to hear the passing of John. We lived on Albert Road where my parents Jean and Doug Cameron farmed and John lived on the main road at the bottom of Albert Road. I went to school with Gayle and Graeme and knew John through them and through playing Badminton. John used to belong to the same farmers group as Dad. Rest In Peace John.

Very sad to hear of Johns passing.
John will always be remembered as a dear friend, a respectful and helpful farming neighbour and an old Bowling mate. Always met you with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. "Rest Easy John"
