My thoughts go out to the family I offer my condolences for the loss of a husband and father I remember the times spent together when we were neighbours And being given the opportunity to buy the farm Many thanks I apologise for not making the funeral But my thoughts are with you all

To Elisa and family. I am sad to read about Johns passing. We met at one of the Dutch get-togethers at Opunake beach years ago. We had just arrived from the Netherlands and you and John invited us into your home on the farm in Warea. We really enjoyed your hospitality and chats about the early days in New Zealand and life in general. May you all find comfort in the knowledge that John lived a full life to a rightful age. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Kind regards Louie Aan de Brugh. Kerikeri Northland.

I would like to wish Elisabeth and the family my sincere condolences in the passing of Johannes. My husband Frank (Gaze - now deceased) and I had several good conversations with both John and Elisabeth and had we met when we were all "younger" we would have very much liked to have got to know them better. With love to Elisabeth. Margaret Gaze

It is with a deep sense of loss and sadness that the Age Concern Taranaki family acknowledge the passing of our valued Age Concern Taranaki Life Member John Albers. We sincerely thank John and the support by his family for his significant contribution to Age Concern Taranaki. Our kind thoughts and comforts are with Elisabeth and the family at this time. RIP John.

I was saddened to read of John's passing. I enjoyed many conversations with him while we were on caravan rallies. To me, he seemed a very strong minded person and he really enjoyed the club life. On behalf of the club, I offer our condolences.

Dearest Elisabeth and family. May you have wonderful memories to keep you going through the difficult days ahead. Sending our most sincere condolences to you all Mike and Jill
