Beloved husband of Norma (nee
Barker) and cherished father of Craig.
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.
