It was sad to hear of John's passing and I extend my condolences to his family. My earliest recollections of John were at Creswell's joinery shop where he worked alongside my father Bill Morgan who was John's uncle. My last meeting with John was at our uncle Don Morgan's funeral. From my earliest memories to the last I will also remember John's smile which I think came from his father Alf. John's mother was Edith Gridley (nee Morgan) and Edith was one of Don and Bill's sisters and they lived in Dillons Point where the Morgan's operated a dairy farm. The connection with the Creswell's was that Mrs Annie Bertha Morgan was a Creswell and married Ralph William Morgan.
RIP John.
