Dear Kym and family,
Our heartfelt condolences and sympathy at the loss of your father. Thinking and praying for you.

Kym, Jerry and Hunter: What a beautiful day it is to celebrate your dad's and grandpa's life.  It will be a wonderful service where God is worshiped and John is honored for a life well lived.  Pastor Jim Lee

Dearest Barbara, Kym and Family,
My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time.  John was such a caring and gentle man.  I will always remember his sparkling eyes and BIG smile!  I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet up with him again after all those years.  I remember him when I was just 3 years old and he hasn't changed a bit.  He cared so much for his family and wanted nothing but the best for them.  He is now at peace and in heaven and the angels are watching over him and his family.  John will truly be missed by everyone he touched, his family, friends and former co-workers.  He was such a talented and gifted man and a perfectionist to boot!  No one will ever be able to fill his shoes.  Good Ole Faithful, Renee

Dear Barbara, Kym, Jerry, and Hunter,
We write this note with heavy hearts.  We were so saddened to learn about Scotty's passing.  Barabara, you and Scotty have been in my thoughts for so long now.  Please know that we will keep you and your family in our prayers.  We are certain that Scotty and Joe have reconnected already in heaven and have set to work on some remodeling project, enjoying a good story and laugh, and reminiscing about about their years of friendship and time together at JD&M.  May a lifetime of wonderful memories bring you comfort during this difficult time.  
With love,
Gisela Duronio and children

Kym you are who you are today because of what your dad did for you. You should carry that with you in your heart and most of all share it with the world...which is something you already do.
He is proud of his Kymberly.

My heart goes out to all of you during this difficult time.  I would have loved to be able to flyout and give you BIG hugs, but it just has not worked out.

Dear Aunt Barbara, Kym, Jerry and Hunter, we are thinking and praying for you at this very sad time. I know Uncle John will be so dearly missed. He was a wonderful loving man. So kind, generous and thoughtful.  We will never forget the time we took him down to the coast for the day when he and you Aunt Barbara came to Petts Wood. It was such a lovely day and he was such good company.  I know you will miss him, all of those whose life he touched will miss him, but it is good to know you and the rest of us will meet him again one day. He is now rejoicing and has heard the Father say well done my good and faithful servant'. For me I know he will have met up with my mum and they will be catching up on everything. All our love to you Elizabeth, Richard and Dominic xxx

Our deepest condolences go out to you Barbara,Kym, Jerry & Hunter. John was such a good husband, farther, and papa. He will be missed. His smile lit up the room and his kindness was felt through and through. Our prayers are with all of you. Much Love, Yhe Fardad Family

Many years ago I had the privilege of meeting John. John was one of those few men that left quite an impression on my life. When you speak of a true gentleman John was one of them. A great man who walked with dignity and integrity and I was honored I had the chance to spend several hours with this great man....my sincere condolences.

Love you Kym. Your dad was such a light and that continues in you and in Hunter. He will watch over you all. Sending so much love to you, your mom, Jerry, Hunter and the whole family.
Love and light,
