Guestbook

I was sad to hear of the recent passing of John. My parents were great friends of Johns' parents, Max and Vera, and we all attended the Methodist Church in Waimate together. I can recall my Father speaking fondly of John and his achievements. My sincere condolences to his family at this sad time. Sincerely, Lois Thomas.
