To Leonie & wider Norton family
Very shocked to read of John's passing - a very positive man whom had the Community at heart
Enjoyed his catch ups and chats and enjoyed Coaching him (except Triple Jump or should I note TJ wasn't kind to him)
A very succesful Businessman
John was very proud of his Family and their accomplishments, especially Scott (Harlequinns, SC & NZ Heartland) , Willie Heinz (England, Crusaders, Canterbury) & George (Celtic Prems)
An excellent Sportsman himself re Rugby ( I have heard it from very good sources, a top player in Christchurch Premier Club Rugby ), Cycling, Golf, Athletics and loved his Horse Racing.
A larger than life Community man - he will sorely be missed
Treasure the Memories
Thinking of You All at this very sad time
RIP
Kind Regards

I remember John well. We played in Burnside RFC s first side to play in the Top division of the Canterbury Metro Comp in 1973. He was a lovely even tempered guy, a great fellow to be around. I know some of the family and share their sorrow. I am unable to attend the funeral but am thinking of the family on that sad day. I wish the family well for the coming times. Dubsy Christchurch

To Leonie and family - our sincere condolences with the passing of John, the "Husband of the Year" as he so proudly referred to himself as - amongst other titles!!! John was a top bloke who was a delight to be around and always had a story. An excellent sportsman who was a determined and tough competitor. Only a few weeks back he was at Gleniti practicing his chipping and putting during an interval in his harsh treatment. John, you will be missed by many many people who knew you. RIP my friend.

Sending you my love Leonie and family. He was such a character and I loved the cheeky banter we had. I met you both at Social Welfare in the 90's where John loved to walk around the office yarning to the staff. He loved to 'network' with people. He will be missed by many people. RIP John!

Dear Leonie & families. So very sorry to hear this sad news. `John the Legend´ had such a fantastic, dry sense of humour. He always made me laugh. Taken way too soon. Treasure all your lovely memories and photos. Thinking of you all from England. Karina & Dave
