I know it is a long time ago but I only found out recently. He was a brilliant lawyer and one of the nicest blokes in the profession I had ever met. Ian Heathwood, partner Cornwalls Brisbane.

John was a true and experienced voice providing sound guidance to many of our members who will continue to benefit from the contracts education sessions he delivered over many years. A true professional, skilled and honest and an absolute credit to the legal profession. A unique individual.

John was my Principal when I shuffled nervously onto the legal stage as an articled clerk at Weigall & Crowther in Melbourne in 1987. He was a fine man and a perfect chaperone to the profession of the law. He showed me not to take my fellow practitioners or colleagues too seriously, but instead to reserve my best energies for my clients and their battles.

Good on you John.

What a fabulous man John was. Defender of the downtrodden and a clear, well groomed voice for truth and fairness. I well recall him marching into my office unannounced during a very difficult period, grabbing me by the hand and pronouncing you need me Williams!.
He was always up for a good fight and was an inspirational and trusted friend.
Bless you John.
With affection,
Allen and Libby Williams and family
