Hi Anthea,
I was sad to see your dad has died. I have been thinking about coming out from the hostel to your place at Dipton. Your mum and dad were always so welcoming to me.
Mum (Jessie ) sent me a message saying how much her and dad loved your mum and dads company back in the day. Thinking of you all

Sorry to hear of John's passing. I worked with John at paykels when they were in yarrow street. I had just left school. He was such a nice guy to work with. Myself and Bret Dawson had a lot of laughs with him. He was a good man and I'm sorry for your loss.
