John was a true gent, who I & everyone will truly miss. He was a proud man that left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He has always supported me over the last 11 years I've been with the company & without him I wouldn't be able to do what I do today. Its been an honour to work with him so closely as I did on a daily basis. He has left me with some amazing stories & memories. A true legend of the timber industry.
