A Son, Brother, Uncle, Companion, Friend. When your name is spoken, My memories of you are of:
Your Smile: would brighten the room
Your Laughter: we will hear from the heavens
Your hugs: squeezed so lovingly tight.
The stories that would always be so delightful and could go for hours.
Your colorful collections of things you loved dearly:
1. Animals - dogs, goats, horses, chocks, etc.
2 People- You meet so many for all walks of life and treated them like long lost friends
3. The odd bits and pieces you that now fill your home.
I admire your love for life and where not afraid to stand up and be you.
Love you always, I will be listening out to hear your laughter drifting on the breeze.
Its been an honor.

Thanks so much for all those years of friendship.
I will miss your text messages and our visits to Ribbonwood which always concluded with a big hug. You were someone I looked up to and respected. You and Henk were great role models.
I have happy memories of our social evenings at your place drinking, laughing and dancing to Boney M.
Rest easy my lovely friend.

A truly kind, caring man. My childhood was all the richer for knowing John. He always took the time to impart his advice and knowledge whether it was about goats, horses or life..! Remembered with much love....
