John was a kind neighbour, chatting across the fence or at his place. He shared his life stories and asked very little in return. He told us only a few weeks ago that he expected to celebrate being 80. He was looking forward to it. We send condolences to his children and grandchildren,

Milky was a quiet and thoughtful neighbour. His daily walks were a fixture in our Illowa Rd community and his presence will be sorely missed. Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Got to know John through shared interests in recent years and enjoyed his effervescent character. There was always laughter when I spoke to John about walking, transport, horse racing or the weather. Glad he got to experience
a couple of Melbourne adventures this year, venturing out of his local comfort zone. Will always carry fond memories of our interactions. Condolences and support to family and friends.June 20, 2026 8:49 pm

Milky was a life long neighbour and in later years a familiar presence in our little community walking along Illowa Road daily. Condolences to his loved ones during this difficult time.
