John ANGUS Obituary

Very sad at the untimely loss of a friend and colleague. With heartfelt sympathy to Sally and the family, Mary and Trevor Mowbray

A gentle man whose contribution to the human rights of children was much appreciated.

Robyn Munford here, I have such fond memories of John and all his work for children, young people and families in Aotearoa. I feel very sad about this news but I will carry with me the many conversations I had with John who was always so passionate about his work. Your legacy will live on.

Nga mihi, John was a warm and wise spirit with the pragmatism to get good things done in government and community. I celebrate that i was lucky enough to work with him and saddened by his passing. Arohanui John

John contributed so much to the well-being of children in Aotearoa. He will be remembered dearly for his advocacy and support. A sad loss. Condolences to Sally and family.

Sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a great advocate in all aspects of his work. It was a privilege to work with him.

We are sorry to learn of John's passing and our thoughts are with Sally, Jamie and Matt. We will remember John and miss him for his slightly dry laconic wit, intellectual rigour and broad view of the world and its frailties.

We are so very sorry to hear of John's passing: an exceptional person within a lovely family will always be an irreplaceable loss.

"Whatever you are, be a good one." (Abe Lincoln). John was a good one.

We offer condolences to the family of John Angus. John was a great help to us in our Maori child advocacy organisation. He was fit to be called a "humarie" man -a man who had dignity, generosity, self discipline and aroha, enabling others to work with him in his focus of keeping children at the centre of family, community and political life. He did a great job. Thank you. Nga manaakitanga ki a koe, e te rangatira humarie. Te Kahui Mana Ririki Trust.

Deep regret at Johns passing. Always a stalwart advocate for children's best interests and welfare. A role model for many working for a better deal for kids. Will be greatly missed. Barbara Lambourn

So sorry to hear of your passing John. You have been an inspiration to many of us in the child advocacy world. You will be remembered as a thought-leader and staunch champion for our most vulnerable citizens. Arohanui.

We are very sorry to hear of your loss and wanted to take this time to recognise John's contribution to protecting NZ children. In particular his commitment to ACART and the significant work he did around protecting children during very early development. Our patients and their children today have a great deal to thank him for.

He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.
