It is with great sadness that the family of John announce his passing. On October 9, he passed peacefully aged 83.  Most loved Dad and father in law to Kevin (Willy) and Nic, the late Bridget and Stu Burrell, Carolyn and Jeff Hollings, and Ben and Billie-Jean.  Friend of the late Helen.  Fun-loving G-Dad to all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will always remember the best times, the laughter and love.  Messages to 45 Nursery Drive, Ashburton 7700.  John’s service will be held at 2pm on Friday, October 13, at Paterson’s Chapel, Cox Street, Ashburton
