John DAWSON Obituary

Such sad news to hear the passing of John. He was such a friendly and well liked guy and a truly passionate family man. I have no doubt he will be still doing Anna's training programs on the rower up there. From all the staff and many members at Fitness Canterbury you will be forever missed.

We are truly saddened to hear that John has passed away so suddenly. Noel & I met Kathy & John only a few times. They are Aunt & Uncle to our daughter's husband Daniel.
John was such a lovely man, a genuine person with a joy for life. So sad that he has been taken from this world.
Kathy our hearts feel your pain. We have never met your children, Sam & Anna but we extend our sincere condolences to you all.

We met John only once, during a short visit with his family to the USA in 2010, but he impressed us with his friendliness, kindly demeanor, and love for his wonderful family. We join the family in sorrow for his early departure and pray their good memories of his life will be of comfort in the years ahead.

We were very saddened to hear today of the passing of John, a much liked and respected neighbour and a true gentleman, who will be sorely missed.
Our deepest sympathies

Our hearts are broken. We are so sad to loose our dear friend John, travelling companion and valued OFC member. This wonderful man lives on in our memory and in the hearts of Kathy, Sam and Anna.

We're very sad to read this. We remember so many fun times when you were in Brockhall Pl and at Avonhead Tennis club. Our deepest sympathies to you Kathy and to your children.

Very sad news to be told the news of John's passing. He was very much a family man & such a humble hard worker. I owe JD a lot both professionally & personally. He will be missed.

Very sad to lose my good boss for whom I have been working in last 30 years. Wish John to have good life in heaven. LJ
