Farewell Grandad, Dad, John. 1932 - 2011
It is our very sad duty to inform you that Dad passed away peacefully this morning (Friday 4th Feb) at Norwest Hospital.He had fought a valiant battle against bowel cancer, that cruelly marched on to his liver, lungs and spine. He tried all avenues of treatment with bravery & optimism and in his typical fashion was always concerned more with others than himself.
He was dignified and brave and grateful to the end, always thanking nurses and doctors for everything they did for him.His funeral will be held next Wed 9th February at 11am at the Castlebrook Memorial Park at Rouse Hill, and afterwards at the Box Hill Progress Association Hall at Nelson for some sandwiches and a cup of tea.
Our family invites those who loved and respected him to join us there, but understand fully those who can't make it. We would ask that there be no flowers but donations be made to the cancer council for cancer research.
Thank you everyone already for your concern and love.Chrissie 0412 405079
on behalf of Hazel, George, Alice, (Jess & Ben), David, Debbie, Talia, Melanie, Rhianna (Chris, Nic & Steve).
