Sending so much love to my beautiful Cheryl, her mum Mrs Carleton, sisters Sharon and Leanne, Ken, Geoff, Alex, Kyle and Aiden. I was privileged to spend time with Mr Carleton over the last 40 odd years. He thought I was a nut case and I did my best to prove him right. Rest in peace

Sending all our love to Lil,Sharon,Lee-Anne, Cheryl and all their families at this sad time. We remember John with so much fondness on our travels to Aussie and his visits to England. Some memories include Playing snooker in his man cave , him listening to the horse racing (pokies) on his radio and him taking us to his work and showing us the brilliant landscaping projects he had undertaken. We also remember our holiday with John and Lil in their holiday home. We played our first card game of 99 and singing our heads off to Rock and Roll free Riding. Most of all I remember how he enjoyed ribbing us all. Rest in peace Uncle John free from pain. Will never forget you and those precious memories xxxx

I have known John for many years, I went to school with Sharon. I don't think I ever met a happier man. Always a smile and a laugh. Even in his later years, he always had a smile. He never lost his lovely Irish accent. Rest in peace John.

Our Sincere condolences to Aunt Lil ,Sharon Leeanne ,Cheryl and their Families. The Mack Band of Brothers couldn’t have approved a better man to their favorite niece. He provided for all the needs of the family with his hard working ethos , he was Generous in his love , full of humor and could give as good as he got in terms of banter when any of the four generations of Macks, paid a visit to his homes in Springvale or Geelong. We will treasure those fond memories of you and cherish the times together. Go fly with the Heavenly Magpies and Rest in Peace Gary
