To John’s wife Pam, Rebecca, Anna, and all John’s children, grandchildren, siblings, their families and his friends, deepest sympathy to each of you at this challenging and sad time in losing a great soul and family member. I pray he didn’t suffer. May you gain strength in knowing his legacies and memories will live on for eternity. Take Care xxx

Although we hadn't seen him in the last few year, Mal & I are so saddened by the passing of John. He was a true gentleman with an honest heart of gold who always made time for others. Forever the perfect host, part of his language of love was in cooking a beautiful meal for others & welcoming people to his dinner table for a chat & laugh. A gentle, kind & helpful soul who often put others before himself. It was our honour & pleasure to know you John...you were like a second father to me. Memories of you warm smile & heart will be cherished forever. I am unfortunately unable to get to the service due to current distance from home, but Mal will be there as a representative of myself & the extended Van Loon family siblings who cared about you. Our most sincere condolences go out to his family & friends. 🙏❤❤🌷
