John Ellis MORTIMER

"Who Stole the Time" .... From the early days of GRE, Magna Insurance Brokers, Mariner Insurance and an early Sponsor/Supporter of the Bay of Islands Sailing Week. What a Great Guy John Mortimer was. Always positive, definitely outgoing, full of fun and most definitely a "no nonsense" sort of person who was always a pleasure to both deal with and enjoy his great company. R.I.P John

To Anne and family, my sincere sympathies to you all. I have so many great memories of our fun times in Northcote Lions Club back in the 70´s and 80´s. Thinking of you at this sad time. (Judy Currin)

John was such a great guy, love his motorbikes and the company we all shared. He will be sadly missed. I will miss his storytelling with his hands. RIP John . Martin and Christine x

I classed John as a very good friend, great business supporter and an all-round super person, I have very fond memories of our association .

To Ann, Aaron and family condolences. Many happy memories of early days in New Plymouth and thanks for John´s support of the Cruising Division of the RNZYS. A great character with many happy occasions. Fondly remembered.
