RIP Brother John

Post by SMOKEY »

Not sure that this is the right place to put this but the group that was part of Al's Coast trips will understand. Brother John past away suddenly this morning, he has had a few health issues lately but was doing ok. Bro John loved his 4Wd trips with me to the Coast , he was happy with a JD, a Smoke and loud music. A very talented Panel Beater and more than happy to help with any repairs. I'm sure many of the group will remember the two Fitzy's in the black singlets shorts and Jandals in the middle of the winter------that's how we Ride. We all had good times on the trail and the after match at the Ikamatua Pub will I'm sure be remembered by all.

RIP BRO JOHN

FITZY.

Was always a good time with the boys over the coast.
Thoughts at this sad time.
Think of the good times and a smile will follow.

Real sorry to hear this about the first jandal wearing Fitzy I knew. The 28th will be sad for both of us now :cry: I'm sure you and the rest of the family are helping each other through what can only be a difficult time. Hopefully you all managed to catch up over Christmas and the memories will make you smile for a bit. Sending you a man hug lol.

Very sorry to hear that news Fitzy. You two were very close and I also enjoyed John's company on the coast trips.

Janet and myself send our condolences.

Cheers Richard
