Leave a tributeJohn,
We will miss all the banter between us. Who had the longest grass. What the weather was going to do and who got the most rain. The laughs and stories. And of course, poor Sarah passing messages backwards and forwards. Rest In Peace our dear friend. We hope the grass grows lush and green in Heaven.
Sending our love and prayers to
Marg, Sarah, Kerry, Tim, David, Mick and their families.

Dear Margaret and family,
John fought a very long hard battle to stay with you all.

Margaret and family, we grieve with you the loss of John. He was a great man of God. Very positive and he fought the good fight. We both share your loss, as he was a good friend to us. It was good to visit him in Sarah’s shop in recent times and see his warm personality winning the customers. Greg and Judy
