John MONIGATTI Obituary

Dear Leslie,
It is with great sadness that I've found this post. I've been searching for you all on the internet for some months as we're due to come on holiday to NZ next week. We'll be in Auckland Friday and Saturday 1&2 Nov.
I have such fond memories of our time with you when you were on exchange with RNH Plymouth. Arriving in UK just 3 months after you wedding! We loved that you could be part of our wedding just a few weeks before Emma was born.

IF you felt up to it, we'd love to catch up.
Tracey & Richard.

Go well my friend and colleague .. you were a great source of knowledge and advice . You will be missed aroha nui michael

I mourn the loss of John a great respected colleague at ACC. John and his sage advice will be missed. Aroha nui. Sorry I cannot be at your funeral.

John, Leslie and the children have been good friends, particularly in the sailing. John was a very competent crew member in the 1977 Sydney Hobart race during an horrendous storm. We sailed a lot together and when I took my wife and four girls for a cruise around the Pacific Islands, John came as a valued extra crew member and was able to administer his medical knowledge to many islanders in remote areas. We have fond memories and our thoughts go out to Leslie and the family at this time.
Much love Keith, Shirley and the girls.

We mourn and we hurt for the loss of John, but celebrate his life. He is so much missed. Leslie and family, you know how much he was respected and loved as a friend and colleague. Thank you for sharing your husband, father, and grandfather with us. Aroha nui.
