Dearest Haiki, and all our old friends; Mack, Lee & Len Billingsley, Glenn Anderson, Franz Booth et al. John was my oldest, closest and dearest friend, pal, mate and chum as youngsters we even went through the ritual and became 'blood brothers'.Even after I moved to UK in 69 and OZ in 77, I was back every two years or so and every time we met up and spent a weekend together, it was as if not two years had passed, but two days! For those in the know, Are you a Turtle and FuzzWorts, like John himself, will never pass from our memories. I would have given about anything to see him again I haven't been back for nigh on 5 years since my father passed, but am coming over for my niece's wedding in December and Xmas for the first ( and last )time in 15 years and was hoping to say my final 'Farewell, well met ' then Je te regret To all friends and family, I too feel the loss a stalwart, a friend, a brick and mortar in the substance of our lives is gone but not forgotten; a journey, a destination now no longer attainable; a memory, a remembrance; a joy, a history, a friendship always cherished. And I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life I loved you more. John and I, as well as all of you, loved that song and sentiment from the Beatles and will continue to do so, in his memory. Farewell friend, well met. Always, Terry.
