We were so lucky to have had an Uncle John in our lives. Always big hugs, an interesting story, and interest in everyone's lives. We loved visiting him and Leanne at Buderim and the kids have warm memories of the many items he thought they would just love - and they did. Thinking of you all at this sad time. It was a joy to spend the morning with your whole family in Melbourne recently and John looking dapper as always.

My condolences to everyone in Johns family and his many friends. I remember him when I was very young and he used to visit grandma and grandpas place at Auchenuflower driving a Volkswagen sedan. I think it was the first one I ever saw. John was always a fascinating man to talk to, especially if you like politics. It was very enjoyable hosting John and my mother Shirley when they flew to Century Mine in Queenslands Gulf Country several years ago, also attending the Gregory Downs races; a real man of the bush. John was interested in everyone and everything. He will be remembered fondly.

Our part of the family had real affection for John, and I, personally, appreciated his way of suddenly thinking of something that would be of mutual interest - like a book, or newspaper article, and sending it vial mail. Years ago, my dad and I were in Sydney, and John visited us at the Motel to hear dad's personal story of a Naval event in the Pacific which took place in the 1920's. It thrilled my dad to talk about it, and I will always remember John bringing me a rose and taking me out to a restaurant that evening. God bless.

The many interactions I had with John were wonderful. From that first meeting where we travelled to Sydney together, until our last catch up many many years later. John will be missed.My deepest love and sympathy to all his family, and to his friends.

Thank you for the warmth and love you brought to Brisbane on your visits. I remember so vividly your joyful laugh as you would greet my mum, Bernadette, at our house in Carindale. Many happy memories. xo

I first met John in Melbourne as his future brother in-law. He made all feel welcome. We do have some memorable times in that visit

John was one of the larger than life characters of life. He loss will be deeply felt by so many, including me. I am fortunate to have many strong (and mostly amusing and happy) John stories. My love to all of the extended clan xx

If I will remember Uncle John for one thing it would be his voice. Even in a crowded family party you could tell him apart easily. Whenever he left a voice message on our landline you could hear him from across the house about the latest horse race. Josh

Our thoughts are with you all. I will miss hearing John's voice giving me his racing tips. Genevieve Chris and Joshua
