To the Boyes family .It is with much sadness that we hear of Johns passing .John was an inspiration to us when we first took over a similar business as him on the coast. He encouraged us into the coast way of life and we were always intreged with his Kiwi ingenuity style when it came to fixing a problem. John was a well respected man within the grocery industry and he will be sadly missed by all . RIP JB .

So sorry to learn of John´s passing also sorry I did not get to see him as planned earlier . A recent stoke will also prevent me from attending his service. So please accept my apology for my non attendance. My heart felt condolences to all the family. A true friend at rest.
