Dear Irene and Family our Very Sincere Condolences to you all in the loss of your much loved John. We have so many fun memories with you both to treasure as we know you will all have your precious memories as well hold them close. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you all. Rest in Peace John

Hi Irene, you and your family are in my thoughts. I have such fond memories of when we would visit yourself and John on the farm... It was always exciting to go and see John and Ice Cream (haha)... John would sneak us some lollies to hide in our pocket with a few coins each. You made the Walton's feel so welcome and part of your family. Thank you for being so kind, loving and welcoming of Emily and her family. I know your love, support and care means so much to Emily, especially from John. Emily knows how proud he was of her and that means a lot. Thank you again John and Irene for being an amazing part of Emilys extended family. My sincere condolences through this very sad time. Much love, Katherine xx

We'll always remember John as a dedicated family man, who would do anything for the kids and Irene. He was always cracking jokes and always greeted us with a warm smile and hugs. A true gentleman who enjoyed nothing more than the company of good friends and family, a good meal and sharing stories of the one that got away! You were a true legend John, and your love and big heart will live on in Jan, Jo, Phil & Tracey and all the extended family. RIP John...we'll miss you!

Rest in Peace John. You fought a brave battle. You always made us smile, thank you for being such great fun to be around.

To the Oakley Family. Please accept our sincere condolences and sympathy at this time. We have many great memories of our times with John and Irene and the joy of their company going back over 60 years now. John was a lover of life and made the most of all situations he found himself in. No more pain now John. Rest in peace. May we meet again. Clare and Ian Trott.
