Dear Carmen, Chris, Amy & family We were so sorry to learn of the passing of John. We have good memories of his shearing days at Cliffside and on the footy field watching our boys back in the JAB days. We are thinking of you all as you mourn your loss. Kind Regards . Don, Marg, Richie & Jo McCaw
A beautifully stubborn and Stoic Uncle. He will be forever loved. Thank you for all the hugs growing up.
Our thoughts are with all the family at this sad time. From Chris's work mates
Our deepest sympathy to all the family at this sad time. Linny was always a great team player to have in the shearing gang. He brought humor to the shed. So many great memories. We are sorry we are unable to attend his farewell.
Very sorry to hear the news. My rugby mate from my Kurow days. Regards
