Dear Kate and family. I was so saddened to hear of Johns passing. I have the most wonderful childhood memories of John in particular standing between the front and back seats of your Capri "go fast John Jones", amongst many others. I have let Mum know (Yvonne Webster) sadly her memory is not that great anymore but she most certainly passes on her love and thoughts.
Sending lots of love Yvonne, Karin Craine (Webster).

Kate and family,
So sorry for your loss. JJ was one of the best.
As the Director of Civil Aviation and Chief Executive he made it his personal mission to walk around every week and ask how the family was, new your children by name.
JJ showed compassion and care and was always up for a chat, drink and laugh outside of his dedication to work. Kate thank you for the lunches and kindness you showed us when living in the apartment in Oriental Bay, those fond memories will always be with me.
Big hug to you all.
