Left to cherish John's memory are son Stephen and his wife Sheila, grandchildren Donna and her husband John, David and his wife Robyn, and great-grand children Tyler, Haillee, Maverick, Jonathon and Kyra. John was a great community man and he was always there with a helping hand. His favourite saying was hard work never killed anyone . His grandchildren were extra special to him and he welcomed them with arms out-stretched. He loved his grandchildren and watching them achieve their goals was special to him.
