I worked with John @ PGG then bumped into him as a Freemason where we rekindled the friendship. Sad times but 95 is a good innings.

Sorry to hear the news as only just seen this online. Had some really fun times growing up in Ocean View Tce and spent a lot of times at the Knights and playing with Keith. Always remember Mr Knights basement under the house where he was very skilful in making woodwork things. He was a good long time friend to my parents as well. Many memories of a good guy. RIP
