John Ferguson "Jack" KIRKLAND

I pass on my deepest sympathy to you Craig on the death of your father. He always seemed to be a very nice man when I saw him at St Andrews Church Margaret (nee Morine) Garrett.

Jack was a wonderful friend and neighbour. We enjoyed the driveway Christmas parties and more recently the annual gathering of former neighbours near the time of his birthday. Condolences to Craig and family.

My memories of Jack go back to his first date with Judy who was my friend since pre school. We enjoyed many happy times dancing and beach combing at Oakura, sharing our children's early years.All great memories .Sincere sympathies Craig in the loss of your Dad a very nice man. Fay Looney

The Members of the City of New Plymouth Caledonian Pipe Band extend our sympathies to Jack´s family. Jack was a popular member of the Highland Pipe Band and was a very successful Drum Major, always parading dressed for the part. He imparted confidence from the front. March on Jack

I spent a good number of years in the City of NP Highland Pipe Band. Jack was the Drum Major and an excellent one at that. He was extremely confident in the job and well liked by fellow members. We were sorry to see him retire from the position. He was always interested in what the Band was doing in later years. Farewell Jack, somehow Anzac Day will not be the same without your presence. Alice and Bruce Moffett

Craig: I have many wonderful memories of fun times with Kerri and you and both of your parents at Awanui St. Those days were brilliant! Hugs to you
