John NORTON Obituary

I remember John well. We played in Burnside RFC s first side to play in the Top division of the Canterbury Metro Comp in 1973. He was a lovely even tempered guy, a great fellow to be around. I know some of the family and share their sorrow. I am unable to attend the funeral but am thinking of the family on that sad day. I wish the family well for the coming times. Dubsy Christchurch

Deepest sympathy to you, Leonie, and your family.

To Leonie and family - our sincere condolences with the passing of John, the "Husband of the Year" as he so proudly referred to himself as - amongst other titles!!! John was a top bloke who was a delight to be around and always had a story. An excellent sportsman who was a determined and tough competitor. Only a few weeks back he was at Gleniti practicing his chipping and putting during an interval in his harsh treatment. John, you will be missed by many many people who knew you. RIP my friend.

Dear Leonie and Family so sad to hear about John. Our thoughts are with you all at this time from Lynne John and Christine (Grant)

Sending you my love Leonie and family. He was such a character and I loved the cheeky banter we had. I met you both at Social Welfare in the 90's where John loved to walk around the office yarning to the staff. He loved to 'network' with people. He will be missed by many people. RIP John!

Dear Leonie & families. So very sorry to hear this sad news. `John the Legend´ had such a fantastic, dry sense of humour. He always made me laugh. Taken way too soon. Treasure all your lovely memories and photos. Thinking of you all from England. Karina & Dave

Such a talented sportsman. He always made me laugh. I will miss his smile and banter
