Our condolences to you Rosie and family

My thoughts are with you Rosie, at this unreal time in your life, take care. Condolences to you and your families. Love Nora, Donna and family.

So sorry for your loss Rosie, and family, what an amazing tribute to such a hard case man. We had many a laugh over the difficult puzzles he tried to find for me. We enjoyed watching on line. Sorry we could not be with you.

A truly fitting send off for a one in a million guy. Rest easy John. Sending love and hugs to you Rosie and the family

Rosie and family...we were so sad to hear of John's passing and will really miss him at future car events. What a very fitting send off you gave him! The most REAL farewell we've ever witnessed. Sending much love and gentle hugs to you all ❤️

So glad that I "met" John on Club Hot Rod, and that the on-line meeting evolved into a real friendship. I'm sorry for your loss, but glad to have known him and called him a friend/mate.

What a very fitting farewell for John Boy we were so pleased to be able to watch his funeral. All our love to Rosie and the family from us and all his fellow Mavericks from the Green Room. He will be a big loss.

Sorry we can't be with you and your family today Rosie. We both have the flu. Weve been friends for many, many years and will miss the bullshit conversations on every occasion we've met. Love and hugs to you Rosie. Stay strong my friend xxx

Hugs to you Rosie The world today is a lesser place for the loss of an icon to standing up to one's convictions and never backing down from what or where the individual sees as the line drawn on those beliefs and convictions A sad loss of an amazing friend Ours thoughts are with you , Rosie , and all you family

So sorry to hear of your loss Rosie and your family our thoughts are with you all today

A true kiwi bloke, couldn't stand fools, a true Maverick.

Dear Rosie & family Thinking of you all at this sad time. RIP John Love Lyn Collins

To Rosie and Family I am thinking of you all with sadness in my heart. I can only imagine that John was obstinate but respectful until his last breath. He was the best boss I had the privelage to work for. His knowledge on many different subjects always astounded me. You were Both kind and caring. John was truly a rough Diamond.
