A lovely old gentleman who loved to stop & have a good chat & a laugh. He was always full of encouragement & praise when he saw me doing projects on my home. John I can only hope someone shows you love by regularly visiting you in your final resting place. As you did weekly to your late wife.

It is with immense sadness that I learned of John´s passing. He was a legend at the Waimate Cycling Club, racing as recently as last year. He would often entertain us with his stories from races gone by. We will miss him.
Our deepest condolences to his family.

President

My sincerest condolences to Sharyn, Trevor, Fiona & Families in the loss of John. I feel very privileged to have known John and worked alongside with him for many years. John made a significant contribution to the building materials supply business of Fletcher Timber, Fletcher Merchants and more latterly up until his retirement with Placemakers In Timaru. You were the Phil O'Shea, New Zealand's premier cyclist from Timaru. Joe Yellowlees & Family
