John AUSTIN Obituary

AUSTIN, John Phillip. John passed away in his 85th year in Havelock North on 26 July 2021. Much loved husband of the late Betty (nee Dudding); Dad to Caroline and Pip. John will be remembered for his larger than life personality, smile, sporting prowess and ability to tell a great story. Caroline and Pip would like to sincerely thank the Team at Mary Doyle; they went above and beyond to ensure Dad enjoyed his final years. In accordance with John's wishes he requested there be no funeral or memorial service; instead Caroline and Pip ask you to share a memory or two of John.

So saddened to hear of John's passing.
I posted the sad news on the Te Aroha Facebook page and so many commented with fond memories of him and the family time there.
I remember so many fun times at Piako County.
Thinking of you both Carrie and Pip.

I first meet John in Wellington in 1976 when I was a fresh young traffic officer straight out of the Training College. He was my Chief Traffic Officer, and one of the best bosses I ever worked for in a career that has spanned 45 years and counting. He was incredibly approachable and supportive of his staff. His support, wisdom, and guidance during his time in Wellington had a significant impact on my approach to traffic enforcement over the years.
You were truly 1 in a million JPA, rest in peace my friend.
My sincere condolences to Caro and Pip
