Sorry to recently hear of the passing of my old school friend John in 2015. I remember him and the Leaning family well in Herne Bay during the 1960s.

I just received a note and copies of the memorial & funeral services from Pranesh of John's untimely passing and I am deeply saddened. His note was in response to our annual Christmas card exchange. I have know John for 20 years. We met while I was living and working in London and we've stayed in touch over the years. John was an interesting and intelligent guy and I always enjoyed being in his company. My sincere condolences to those nearest and dearest to him. Harold McRae, Chicago, IL USA

Shocked to hear of John's death today. John is my first cousin and such a pleasant and interesting person. Intelligent, artistic, astute business man, a man for all seasons. I will treasure the times I have spent with him, particularly staying in Taupo when I took my mother, John's god mother to stay. The memories will live on.
