Wish I could have attended but weather intervened today.
John was a guiding light, an encouraging hand and a mentor and friend in my time at Nelson Bays Primary Health.
He shared his love of his family, his connections to others and his love of the Marahau Bach. Sending all his family my sincere condolences for the loss of a gentle giant who had an amazing sense of humour. Thank you for sharing him.

Kia kaha Hunter whanau.
