John had so much passion for the timber trade and it was contagious to all of, his knowledge and memory was amazing. John will be truly missed by all of us at ECP/Meeker, doing business with us for over 25 years we all felt we have developed a special friendship and admiration for each other. Our deepest condolence to the family, rest assured John was a special person to all those who were fortunate enough to cross his path. Cheers to a great mate.
