Dearly beloved son of John Snr (Jan) and Johanna and much loved brother of Marianne and Jim, Pauline and Grant, Yvonne, Valerie and John, Michael and Lisa. John was part of large extended family all of whom cherished and enjoyed all he had to offer whether as an uncle, great uncle, nephew or cousin. We were all the richer for having John in our lives.

The family also wish to thank the dedicated staff and flatmates at Washington Parade, as well as Arohanui Hospice staff and District nurses, which meant Johnny could spend his last days at home.

Our condolences. It's nice to know Johnny is at rest and enjoying his beer, something he was known for in our Monad Street days. Johnny touched the lives of so many people. I remember one day Hiromi and I were visiting Ma & Pa Bos. Johnny didn't know I was there, but when he came round he saw my shoes outside and immediately said Wayne!! It was magic! After so long and only seeing a pair of ratty shoes, Johnny knew.
-- And we will never forget the look of Johnny's face at Mike's 21st --
Love always,
