Rest in Peace Sugata, my Dharma friend. You will always be fondly remembered for your warm smile, kindness, joy, humour and bright spark of light you bought into every room. I will always remember your innocent wonder and your worldly wisdom. Your gentle heart and gentlemanly demeanour were greatly admired. Condolences to Pertiwi, Jasa, Tantri and all your beloved friends and family. You will be remembered fondly by all of us. May you rest in eternal peace and bliss. With Love Soma x

A gentle soul, an open heart, a kind and wise man. John could see the truth, and express it both simply and with colour. In conversation he would listen, and consider. A reader, a poet, an artist with a love for family, kids, simple pleasures. Rest John, in peace. And thanks.
