Beth and family, sorry I won't be at John's funeral tomorrow however I will watch the live link.
I have many good memories of our tennis days when we played at Waihopai. Our team enjoyed many meals together and visits as we moved to different areas.

To Beth and family, So sorry to hear of the passing of John. May your family and friends be of great comfort, along with your rich memories. We always enjoyed visiting you at Waimatuku with our parents. I remember how keen you and John were at Trailor Sailing and John was so good at Tennis. I loved his late parents Uncle Jack and Aunty Jessie. Will be at the memorial service by live stream. Much love Kathleen (Beggs) My siblings David, Clair and Mary also send their condolences.
