After a brave battle with cancer John passed away on the morning 25th November, 2024. Loving hubby of Muriel and loving dad of Lynleigh, Scott, Todd & Helena, and Paul (dec). Proud pop of Conrad, Hunter, and Kyran. Brother of Colin, and Thirza (dec). A much loved husband, father, pop, brother, nephew, teacher, and friend. Messages to John’s family, P O Box 472, Ashburton 7740. Thank you to the Blue Brothers, Dr Penny Holdaway, the Palliative Care Team, Ashburton Hospital, the Cancer Society, and Hospice Mid Canterbury and our many friends and colleagues for all your care and support. John will be greatly missed by so many. The Dad Jokes will live on, but someone else will have to collect the agates at Wakanui Beach now. No flowers, please. Instead, please consider giving a donation to the Mt Somers Walkway Society that was so close to John’s heart. A celebration of John’s life will be held at the Sinclair Centre, Park Street, Ashburton on Friday 29th November at 11:00 a.m.
