Beautiful service and beautiful memories of Uncle John and Aunty Christeen. All my love and thoughts to Thea, Janelle and families xox

BROTHER JOHN. Now your cruel cancer fight is over. REST IN PEACE with HAPPY THOUGHTS and JOYFUL MEMORIES. GARY

Loads of love to you all. We are all going to miss you. Glad we were able to come and farewell you from the Nilsen family. Lots of love.

Hey mate Hey im glad we exchanged a few last words and messages couple weeks before. Rest up and see you in the next life.

It is with great sadness that I hear of Johns passing. I remember John for his professional sales ability while employed with NZIG. He was a great support to me when I was transferred to New Plymouth in my first branch management role My sincere condolences to his family. I hope you can take comfort in the fact that he was so well respected both professionally and socially. Reg Gavegan

I was shocked to see you had passed, I will always treasure all the years I worked with you at NZIG. RIP John

A treasured workmate in the NZIG Company many years ago, John had a special talent as a Salesman and was highly respected in the business. We have fond memories of Christeen & the children. Rest in peace John Neville & Joy Croton

Our sincere sympathy to the family. John was our neighbour for the last four years. We regarded him as a friend ,and it was a shock when he told us about his illness. We will both miss him. Rest in Peace John Graeme and Shirley Howarth
