John McHardy
Condolences to all the family. I have many good memories of school days at Sacred Heart College, Glen Innes, with John. Attached are a photo of John from a class photo, plus a poor quality photo of John (left, plus Michael Hudson middle, and John Briar) at the swimming pool, probably in 1963. RIP, John.

Deepest sympathy to all of his family. He was my eldest nephew and when I worked for his father he used to follow me everywhere. He just loved to reminisce about the old times. about how I taught him to kick a rugby ball and he could not kick with his left foot!! Sad times but some great memories,
