Very sad news indeed. Jody was 2 weeks younger than I and pipped me for being the youngest in our year at primary school. We went through Takaro School together between 1979 and 1984. He was always an energetic and cheerful kid. One of those guys you enjoyed spending time with. Also a fantastic soccer player with quick feet as I can attest over several years of playing both with and against him.

Great memories of being shuttled to play cricket at Ongley Park early on a Saturday morning by Roger in that super uncomfortable Ford Escort van. We would spend a few minutes nursing a sore bum after getting out of that tin can on wheels.

Jody let me copy about 200 Commodore 64 games off his computer contributing to likely our mutual, somewhat misspent youth.

My condolences go out to his family and all those who knew him. Gone too soon.

Always a caring man. The happiest disposition, iI would always take me electrical cords for him to fix and im sure when he saw me he would know iI sliced the cord of my tree trimmer again. Nothing was a problem to him and had many laughs. . I know he was your rock Amgela so I am sending my love and thoughts to you and the entire family for the loss of a lovely family man. So sad for you all. So young. RIP Jody.
