Dear Chandra, I’m very sad to hear of your loss. I spoke to you a few years ago when Vimmie and Wes were holidaying at your home. Luckie called me just late October and we had a long chat reminiscing our childhood at Christ King College when we were in Gr.6, sitting next to each other. I promised him to see him and you on my next trip to NZ. What a shock I received from Vimmie two days ago about Lucile’s passing away. Please accept my condolences at your loss. May he Rest In Peace!

A quiet, private and reserved man on the outside but who spoke volumes through his heart. A man of principles with strong values. Loved rich conversations on any topic, wicked sense of humour and struck up friendships with people from all walks of life here in NZ and in the many countries he travelled in. He is a great loss and especially so for Chandra, Christopher and Ishali. We are grateful to have met and known him. May his soul Rest In Peace.

So sad to hear of John's passing. I met him when he decided to try comedy theatre last year, with the Wellington Improv Troupe. He was a delightful student with a quirky sense of humour and a playful sense of story. We'll miss him.

Dear Chandra and Chris
I'm very sorry for your very sad loss in John's passing.
John's friendly and gentle manner, ready smile and ability to instill a lightness with humour to a situation is something I will always remember.
I admired his communication skills so much. It was a privalage and pleasure to work on the WPIA committee with him and walk with him by the harbour one day.
