So sorry for your loss Juney, Deb, Willow and family. We would have been there with Yoplait bells on if we could have. John was a cool dude, always a smile on his face and I remember him getting a big smile on my toddler's face when nothing else would. Too soon. Love from Megan, John, Jess and Sam

Tommo,

You were a great cobber to us and we immensely enjoyed yours, and June's friendship when we were together.

Your passing has left us in deep sorrow and we will never forget what you meant to us.

Thanks mate for being instrumental in me giving up smoking in 2010. In my eyes, for this alone, you are a legend and this has been acknowledged by my family.

Rest in peace my friend. We will be together again.

So sad to hear about the sudden passing of John. Will always remember his great wallpapering skills and the endless cups of tea that were required in order to get the job finished. Such a likeable character that will missed so very much by all his family and friends. RIP John and our condolences to you June. Love, Vicky & Thomas Morton.

Ditt hjerte som banket så hardt for oss alle,
dine yne som lyste av godhet og varme,
har stanset og sluknet til sorg for oss hjemme,
men hva du har vært vil vi aldri glemme.

(Norwegian to English translation)
Your heart that beat so lovingly for us all,
Your eyes that glowed with care and warmth,
has stopped and extinguished to the grief of everyone
but what you have been we will never forget.

Safe travels Uncle John.
