Dr John was a truly remarkable doctor saving countless lives, helping so many people in their time of need. He always put his patients first, working long unpaid hours. Will be surely missed by thousands of his patients and medical staff he worked alongside throughout Australia and New Zealand. Dr Neil Forbes, Brisbane.

I’ll always remember the many outback fishing trips for barramundi we did together John. Some of the very best times in my life thanks to your company. Tight lines in your new fishing pond old friend. Fred.
