Karyn & Family,
Our condolences for your loss. We were so fortunate to know John, if only for a short time. The first thing we said to friends when they enquired about our new
(NZ) home was how amazing our builder was and how blessed we felt to be working with him. What an amazing man. John made a big impact on our lives forever. Thank you too Karyl.
Much Love

Johannus (John VT):

The sudden passing of our amazing brother and brother-in-law has left a large hole in the lives of Harry and Anne, Liz and Bruce and Antony and Mary and our families. Our children and grandchildren have all had him in their lives and he has always been an important family member.
Sadly missed,
never to be forgotten.
Rest in peace brother.
