From the first time I met John I knew he was a straight shooter, no bullshit sort of bloke who would do anything for his family. He and Viv raised three beautiful independent women and they new he was always there for them. I will miss the family gatherings and having a few beers and a chat with you John.
RIP

Vale Uncle John there will truly never be another like you. What a privilege to be your niece & the memories shared from The Ritz in London to the laughs in Mentone and your visits to the farm with your beautiful girls and laughter around the pool table. You were a great friend & mentor to Whitey/Chalky who respected you for your business talents and love for life. Thoughts are with Viv, Penny, Sally & Amy-Bec. No longer in pain no pressure to be the life of the party we will play your music loud and celebrate you yes my favourite Uncle John.
Love you more Bec, Adrian, Annabelle & Tom xxxxx

Cheers Zac thanks for the mateship.
