A true gentleman and fantastic supporter of, and contributor to, the Manawatu Classic Motorcycle club. It was through John´s efforts and organisational skills that the club was able to donate significant funds to worthy causes such as the Hospice and Rescue Helicopter. John´s services to the club were recognised by making him a life member in 2024. He will be greatly missed by all.
