We both remember John really well. We always met up with Fraser Stewart at the Radiant & Orange Hall in Ashburton as teenagers where we all did some really slick dance moves on the Floor. We remember John as a polite young Gentleman and a great friend. RIP John

Very sorry for your loss. I remember John as the man who taught me to ride a bike when he worked at Loan & Mercantile in Ashburton and I lived upstairs with my parents, Ray and Una Ayers, upstairs in the building.
