John PETCHELL Obituary

I have good memories of John when I lived two doors away between 87 & 90 having just moved from the UK. I was 15/16 at the time and he used to let me ride his motorbike while he ran behind to make sure I didn't crash it! A genuinely lovely bloke. Rest in peace mate.

Farewell John.We had a good time at the Waiheke Island Historical Society.So nice to have had fun while doing something useful!

On behalf of the Waiheke Island Historical Society, I send our condolences to Helen and family. John was a very valued member of our society. Anne Anderson, president, Jan Vail, treasurer.

I worked with John at EMC, He is still referred to around the lunchroom table today with his querky sense of humour. Although your journey on earth has come to an end, you will not be forgotten. Sandy (EMC Stores)

My lovely uncle that is now at peace and out of that pain and suffering. I miss you and haven't said good bye to you yet. I have lovely memories especially from my childhood and will cherish them forever. Lots of love
