Have just received a call from Jo-anne Neenan informing us of the sudden passing of John in the early hours of the morning in his sleep. Apparently this was completely unexpected as he was in good spirits yesterday.
Funeral details will follow.

Sad to hear of John’s passing. First met John in May 1965 when he was co-opted to help DS the Ops Phase of my young officer’s course at the old RAASC Centre. Always the keen military man! He will be missed. Our thoughts and sympathies are with Janet and Family at this sorry time.
John & Shirley
Our condolences to Janet & family on the passing of John
RIP “The Boss”
