John LILL Obituary

We are sad to read of the passing of Jock and offer our deepest sympathy.

So sorry to learn of the passing of longtime friend Jock, ( former DCFO of Collingwood Volunteer Fire Brigade) Sincerest condolences to Jo & family, and thinking of you at this sad time. Wonderful indelible memories remain, both in our days in Canterbury, the fishing trips & in Collingwood. The parties, the singing and all that good cheer. Hosting the coach tour for the big breakfast at the fire station then onto The Spit tour & Cape Farewell was typical of you and much appreciated Jock. You & Jo both served Collingwood & the outer reaches, with such dedication, bringing so much respect from the community.
May you now Rest in Peace

I am deeply sorry at Jocks passing, please accept my deepest sympathy. It was a priviledge to nurse him at Ellesmere hospital. Good memories. RIP Jock

Deepest sympathies to Jocks family. Such a special friend and such a loss to us both.

So sorry to read of Jock's death. Lots of great memories of you both of Collingwood - Camp, Post Office, Tourism etc. RIP Jock & my condolences to you Jo. Beth & the late Ron Lomas

I have many happy memories of times spent in Golden Bay. Jock would walk into our shop with the mail and a cheery word in the mornings. You both ran a great service for the people of Collingwood which was appreciated. Our sympathy to Jo and family. Terry & Glenys Foster
