   Our deepest sympathies on the very sad passing of our beloved John. Many a joyous memory have been made with him. From playing cubbies and having fires in St Arnaud, to swimming in the beach and digging big holes in the sand. Water fights will never be the same. All of our love,
   Kristy, Shaun, Isabelle, Grace, Hannah and Thomas.

10. Dear Doreen, John was a true friend and confidant of life’s experiences. He will be missed greatly for his long night conversations with his sharing
    of life’s joys and challenges. He was a great example of fortitude through his long illness. I shall miss those conversations at that magnificent hospital , many thanks to those understanding nursing staff. I missed the final visits thanks to this time of lockdown we are in.
    and look forward till we meet again, Bruce (Rev)
