I have just heard of Johnny's passing, he was a great friend to my ex husband Ewan Tretheway, who has also passed. Johnny was such a lovely friendly person and we did keep in touch from a distance as we now live in Paraparaumu. He was a lover of sport and people. I am sure Ewan & Johnny will share some tales from above.
