To the staff and fellow residents of Tiwi Gardens .. John enjoyed his friendships and community life with you all – village life suited him. In his usual style he was very interactive with the management and maintenance team .. thank you Amy Tresize for your endless patience and support and to Callum & Leon, John says “keep up the good work”!
John had a long and distinguished military career and was a decorated Vietnam War Vet. When working in Supply whilst stationed in Melbourne, he was responsible for Military Contributions to rebuild Darwin after the devastation of Cyclone Tracy and ironically ended up moving to this very special place. To his military brothers we thank you for your comradeship and for remaining connected to John. To Sue McCallum and all at the RSL we are so grateful for all you have done for us during this very difficult time. As a family we felt honoured to March on ANZAC Day with John but he was especially proud to March with his Grandchildren.
John is survived by his beautiful, loving wife Maggie Mae, his two daughters & their husbands; Debbie, Donna, Mark & Greg. His Grandchildren John, Jasmine & Jade & their partners Renee, Matt & Anthony and his Great Grandchildren Nixon, Sage & Hendrix. He was a most treasured, beloved & cherished member of our family.
He has many Nieces, Nephews, Cousins etc all of whom loved him dearly too.
John’s great passion outside of all that is mentioned above was for his AFL team Carlton
