John Goelet

the world is a poorer place without John

Sending our deepest condolences, the world has lost a great man, a great mind, an innovator, a free spirit and a kind soul. Tasmania will be mourn this loss deeply as will we. Our thoughts are with Jetta and his family. xo Kim and Rod

I will always remember John for being a brilliant person, full of initiatives and supported by the greatest amount of bravery. He had a great heart and deep knowledge of the Middle East. Deepest condolences to dear Yetta and their sons, grandchildren and entire family.

Be it as a respected scholar of Eastern Art, curator, or agricultural innovator, John Goelet was that truly visionary polymath whose love for Nature, great wine, and adventure - served up with wit and fun - brought delight and amazement to all lucky enough to have ever met him. May his family be comforted by his life so exquisitely lived with gusto.

Deepest sympathies to the family of John Goelet. It was pleasure to work for him at Toad Brook. His energy and humour made my job much easier.
