To dear Connie and family.
Our condolences to you all on John's passing.
Frank and I met John early 1971. What a lovely kind face and such a gentleman. We still remember after so many years.
He would always greet us as we walked past Dan Lee's shop in Kepa Rd on our way to catch our bus. We were only new in town and he always greeted us very warmly. We will always remember his friendly face.
Sending you and your family much love during this very sad time.
