Tributes

Farewell dear John, so glad to have had you in my life. Thank you for visiting us in Scotland so often and for your kindness and thoughtfulness whenever we visited you in NZ. You were loved by all of your extended Scottish family. Rest well now. Kim xxx

My condolences to all the Dicker family at this sad time, and, of course, to Anthea, who gave so much support to John when it was most needed. I am only sorry that I cannot be with you all at the Service. John and I shared the same day and month of birth, so I will always raise a glass to him whenever that date comes around.j

Dear John. I am so pleased, that we managed to make the trip to see you in New Zealand in October/November. You have always been good to come and see us in Denmark. Thank you for that. Our tour around Denmark last summer to see where your danish grandchildren live, will be a cherished memory for me and them. May you rest in peace, and give Dave a hug from me ❤️ Love Trine

Trine Dicker

Sleep tight, farfar❤️ Thank you for all the lovely memories. I will keep each and every one in my heart - especially the most recent ones from when you came to visit us just last year, where you made us all laugh with your lovely sense of humor.

Dear Farfar Thank you for everything you gave to this world - especially the family you built, which I’m so proud and grateful to be a part of. I’m deeply grateful for the love you’ve shown us, and for the times you travelled all the way to Denmark just to be with us. You will always have a place in my heart❤️ With love, Emily
