What a wonderful character John had. Attributes apparent in that character were: honesty, integrity, loyalty, respect for fellow man - a champion and advocate for the less fortunate in life. He had a great sense of humour and slightly unorthodox approach to life and career. A mark of the man was his generosity. When needed John would give you the shirt off his back!!
Arohanui, my very dear friend.
