Sending love to Donna, Julian & Stephanie. John was always part of our lives. We grew up hearing the stories of 478 and going to BBQs at Shirley and Hoteo with the late night Beatles and Little Richard sing alongs. He will be missed.

Donna, I often think of you, such a fabulous lady to work with. So sorry to read of John's (Herbie - remember that joke, he was so funny) passing, a huge gap in your lives, very sad and very hard for you all. Thinking of you with sincere sadness and sympathy. Big hugs and much love, Sue Gracie

LEE, John Thomas (John). Born March 09, 1943, Wellington and passed away on April 14, 2023, Christchurch. Loved father of Vanessa, birth father of Cheryl London, and grandfather of Lucie. 'To you your father should be as a god; one that compos'd your beauties; yea and one, to whom you are but as a form in wax, by him imprinted, and within his power to leave the figure, or disfigure it.'
