Beloved husband of Norma (nee

Thank you, Dad, for your guidance,

love, help, friendship, patience,

positivity, presence, humour and the

many adventures we’ve enjoyed on

the road and the farm. Above all for

being a truly wonderful father.

You will live on in my memory, in my

heart, and in a place just over the

horizon, reserved for those with a good

heart, a cheeky smile and an excellent

sense of humour.

Catch you in a bit!

— I love you, your son Craig.

Thank you John for being my husband

for almost 60 years, for your love,

strength, care, support and

understanding…..go well, rest easy.

— I love you, your wife Norma.
