John was a good friend over a long period, from days playing at the Dunedin R F C in the 70s and 80s. He was a character and entertainer, with a favourite greeting each time he ran in to me - an impersonation of Mr MaGoo (which happened to be one of my nicknames). I couldn't help but give a rendition back to him each time! Condolences to your family, RIP Higgo.
