John STRACHAN Obituary

Sad to hear of cousin John's passing. The loss of John brings fond memories to me of our childhood at Timaru and Arowhenua. Me staying with the family at Waimataitai while my mother was in hospital and John staying with us for quite a time while Auntie Eileen was ill with TB.
Our school days at Marist were significant. Great teachers. Bros Denis, Jarlath, Kieran, Emilian and Austin gave us many learning and sporting opportunities. Nice to think back to those early times of our lives and then to catch up later after being out of touch for many years. Look back with love. God's blessing to you all at this sad time. John and Margaret Dwyer, Matamata.

Deepest sympathy to Noeline on the passing of John.

Noeline, sending our love and thoughts to you and your family as you come to terms with John's passing.
Take care. Eric & Jan

Noeline, my thoughts are with you and your family. We had some fun times away with the DB Brewries social club, especially Golf trip weekends, he was always up for a chat and a laugh. Jo & Ash Wilkie

Our condolences to Noleen & Family on the loss of John. A loved Husband , Dad and Grandad. John loved his associations with Ex Royal Navelmen´s
over the years which included my late dad Stan Brookland. And had a great day each Anzac Day with a lot of stories to tell. We all grew up on Pages Rd and Lindsay St and had fun times.
John was a character who loved his family dearly.
Rest in peace John.

Dear Noeline, our deepest sympathy to you and the family at this sad time. Thinking of you all, from Kirsty, Nick, Phil and Gareth (Pat Lewis's kids)

I will always remember him as a good sergeant and I will miss the naval force salute we used to do together. Rest in peace my Sergeant John Carry On.

On behalf of my father Peter Tutty I would like to offer condolences on the loss of John. They enjoyed each other's company and frequently went fishing together. Dad would often go and talk to John when he was visiting mum who was there also. On one occasion dad made up a fishing rod for your dad from a skewer and hung a chocolate fish off it. Your dad enjoyed that and had a laugh. John is at peace now.

the Strachan family my sympathy and love at this sad time.memories are for ever and I remember great times long ago in Pages Rd.good parents and kids happy days hold on to the memories.Betty manning
