Well John - you are gone but the memories linger - and there were some great memories!
"He led a gentle life and the elements were so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say, to all the world, This was a man!
My sympathy to your extended family - Frank Christie (10 Jan 2019) - ex Gore

John was a man who views and wisdom I respected and whose company I thoroughly enjoyed. Condolences to Claire and the family on the loss of a wonderful man.

Treasured memories spanning many years of fun filled times with John and Claire. Holidays together in the Bay of Islands and the Bay of Plenty. Always on the go and surrounded by laughter. What a privilege to have spent time with John at Whangamata during the last two long weekends. Our heartfelt condonlences to Claire, Sally, Chris and their families. His presence we will miss, his memory we will treasure.

John Nicholson (John Nick) an esteemed friend of Lorraine and John Worthington.

At the beginning of my life you used to wake me up when I was a baby and take me out to the lounge so we could play. My grandfather once said, "I hope you have twins you mean bugger". It was so special to spend time with you last week, at the end of your life. Love you xxx.

NICHOLSON, John Charles. Loved brother and brother in law of Ann and Peter Bishop (Warkworth) and loved uncle John of Tania, Deane and Scott Hamilton (Wellsford) and Nicholas and Rosie (Wellsford). A great family and community man who loved his animals and the land.

NICHOLSON, John Charles. An amazing, loving, gentle, caring and a very favourite uncle to Tania and Deane and finally he became a proud great uncle to Scott. Gone far too soon. Rest in peace our darling John xxxooo
