John Stephen PICCLES

I met John when we both worked in PNG. After I left we kept in touch. He visited me here in Nova Scotia and I saw him in Sydney and was there on his 60th birthday when he did a harbour cruise and a dinner. It was a great day. If everyone in the world was like Piccles, our world would be at peace. He was kind, generous and wickedly funny. He oozed enthusiasm and spread joy wherever he went. When you were with John, you just had fun no matter what you were doing. It was a privilege to know him...

A generous and kind spirit, always fun, full of energy and organisation, I feel privileged to have been a friend for 54 years. Great memories of his empathy and intelligence.
