Iam terribly sorry to hear of the passing of John.
Over the years I have taken many tours to Brookfields and his wine presentation to our customers was incredible. Every time he had them in the palm of his hand and they loved him. He will be so missed.

So sad to hear of John's passing. Our memories of JT are his support of and attendance at our Master Electricians conferences where we always shared a wine, Brookfields of course, golf games and a smiling face when we visited the winery. Our last memory of JT was when he took us to see the vintage cars and radios that he was so very proud to show. To Gilly and family, please accept our condolences
Neville and Marion Simpson.
