Carol and family. I was so saddened to just hear of John's passing. Such an amazing guy and great tradesman. I remember fondly the amazing job John did on my Ford Mustang over 40 years ago!! Rest in peace John.

Condolences to John's family and friends.
It is with a heavy and yet thankful heart that I remember JT (as he is known with affection).
I have known JT and his family from when he was a very young boy and later as a young man he also worked with me for several years at my Panel shop in Southbridge where I appreciated his work skills within the trade as well as in many other ways.
He always enjoyed our morning tea time especially when my dear old Mum, Clara brought over her freshly baked treats and hot soup for the workers. JT often had his lunchbreak at my home as well and enjoyed a few beers after work too.
As years went by he was able to teach this old dog a few new tricks of the trade in return for what I had already passed on to him.
We always had a lot to talk about and I always went to see him when I returned home for a visit from.
I will have you on my thoughts here in Australia JT as I am unable to attend this Thursday.
Rest In Peace my Friend
