To Pam and family i am sorry to hear of Johns recent passing. Dad absolutely loved and cherished the years he spent living with the O’Farrell family on their farm while teaching at Mt Scoria. So many times his experiences were shared with us, especially Mrs O’Farrells cooking expertise. He really felt they were all his second family. Thinking of you all at this time and cherish the happy memories. Denise Goudswaard ( Surman )
