To Michelle Justin, Leighton and Nikolai, and families, I am so sorry to hear of John, your Husband, Father and Grandfather, passing away, bit of a shock really. Whenever we did see him we had a great catchup and the kids enjoyed his sense of humor, usually we caught up with Michelle and John, after the Christmas parade in New Plymouth, when he would be undressing the ute. Usually with a big grin on his face, he enjoyed that work, especially with the Lions club. We will miss him and his likeable nature and sense of humor, please accept our prayers for you all, and I am sure he will Rest in Peace, warm regards, Terry, Rochelle, Annabelle, Monica, Leo, Jenna, Luke and Jacob Joyce

KING, John:
Of all the many blessings however great or small,
To have had you for an uncle was the greatest one of all.
The family chain is broken now and nothing seems the same,
But as God takes us one by one the chain will link again.
Loved and respected uncle of Georgia, Ciaran and Paige.
