To Anne, Jethro and Amber. I was shocked and saddened to hear of John's accident. Although it has been many years since I last saw you all, I remember John well and the times spent yacht racing both with and against him. He was always passionate about the things he did and eagerly gave his time to help out anyone who needed it. John will be missed by many people.

Loving thoughts and much love to you Faye Malcom Jill and all family members. Memories are a legacy of love yours to treasure forever. Marion & Richard xx

To Amber & the McCulloch Family
Thinking of you and sending loving thoughts to you at this very sad time.

To John's family - my thoughts are with you at this sad time. I really enjoyed working with John, notably on the original Splash Palace project. It was a project that absorbed a huge amount of energy and which required lots of lateral and innovative thinking. All of which John was very good at. The resounding success of the finished project is testament to John's leadership and flair. I will also remember John for his enthusiasm and passion for whatever he was doing - sailing, skiing, mountain biking, and others enthusiasms - and his enjoyment of life. John's legacy will be the many good and useful buildings, not only in Invercargill, which show that McCulloch flair.

To the McCulloch Family.
We are thinking about you all during this time of sadness. Our sincere sympathy, our hearts go out to each of you.

My thoughts are with you at this sad time and the great memories of an adventurous friend and work colleague

The Bluff Yacht Club mourns the tragic loss of our longstanding club member and friend, John McCulloch.

John has been an active member of the club for longer than any of us can remember. He has held all club office positions, was a very competitive sailor of both dinghies and with his Farr740 sport trailer yacht Highlander, and was just a good buggar to have around.

He coached and mentored within the club, was an analytical and calm thinker, he knew how to make yachts sail fast, and he was always there for us. His home garage became the club workshop for an optimist building project.

He recently officiated as the Race Officer for our Oyster Regatta, and those in the kitchen fondly recall him coming off the water and eating a dozen (probably more) oysters before anyone else. He needed them desperately.

At the time of his death, John was representing our club and the recreational boating community with the new Bluff boat ramp. It is thanks to Johns skills and persistence that this facility will be finally completed.

John McCulloch will always be remembered with warmth and fondness at our club. We pass on to Anne, Jethro and Amber and their family our deepest sympathy. John’s memory and thirst for adventure will always live on within the Bluff Yacht Club.

As a Club we were extremely sad to hear of John’s tragic accident. .As a longtime neighbour he was a great help and always approachable and willing to help with anything we asked. Our deepest sympathy to Anne and the extended family.

John died doing what he loved.; he oozed enthusiasm for life, we will miss his vibrant personality while admiring the wonderful architecture he created..
Condolences to all family, friends and associates of this great man.

We are thinking of you and the fun days at Coronet Peak with John. We also have great memories of our stay in your Stewart Island home.
Take care

So sorry to hear of the tragic accident and loss of John. Our love and thoughts are with you all.

Anne, Jethro, Amber and families, biggest condolences. Sending you all our deepest sympathy. Lochiel days memories xx from Fleming Family

Ann, Jethro and Amber - our heartfelt condolences to you all for losing John – a caring husband and dad. Annabelle and I met him when he designed our Otatara home in 1976 and our holiday home in 1979. Later on, when we were all involved with the Southland Girls’ High School Ski Team and Queenstown Alpine Ski Team, taking them to The Remarkables, Coronet Peak, Cardrona and Mt. Hutt. You were a great architect. Ajit & Late Annabelle Johri, Rebecca Bauarschi & Sarah Sandaradura .

I always thought one day i would visit you and your family in NZ and surprise you. I would park my westafalia in your driveway and continue my walk-about.
You will be missed. Perhaps i cant join you now on your current walk about. But i will catch up one day. Paradise will surely welcome you with open arms. Goodbye good friend.
