John Patrick WHITING

Dear Kay and family. We are so sorry to just learn of John's passing. He was such a lovely kind man that our Tom absolutely loved catching up with over game birds. Much love to you all. Yours sincerely, Craig, Lia, Tom, Georgia and Quinn Brown.

Thanks John (Fatty) for the great memories growing up with your family, sleeping in the hut getting greeted by Bill, drinking under age in the Papanui Pub , so many memories .

Thanks Uncle John for all of the laughs and memories. You have left a legacy of famous one-liners and I will remember my childhood holidays with you, Aunty Kay and Chris with fondness. You certainly always knew how to bring extra life to a party and our lives were richer for having had you in them. RIP to an absolute legend xx

Dear Kay, Chris, Leigh & boys. We were the lucky ones meeting Kay & John in Croziers Rd about 54 yrs ago. We have had a long lasting friendship, involving so many happy & memorable times.
