John was for many years the Dunedin City Council's Technical Services Engineer. He was an exceptional office manager who ensured his staff were given every opportunity to excel. As a Council Engineer he served the ratepayer's to the best of his ability. He will be missed by many friends and colleagues in Dunedin.
John will be missed by many. He was a great contributor to the community through Rotary and his love of cricket. His work for the Dunedin survives as part of his legacy, as does his influence on the people he helped. My thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
