To Carole and Family. We are very saddened to hear the news of John. We have fond memories of our time in Hawera, 1974-76, during which time John and I were part of the team (with Doug, too) that was tasked with commissioning and operating the Butter Hall for Kiwi Dairies. John had a wealth of knowledge and a cool, calm manner which made the experience far more manageable. We really appreciated the comradeship he and you, Carole, extended to us, we had a lot of fun. We are thinking of you at this time, take heart knowing that John was highly respected, enjoyed life and loved his family. RIP John. Roy and Jan
