My condolences to you Carmel and all the family on the loss of John. He always had a smile and a joke !
Deepest sympathy to you all. Xoxo
To Carmel and family,
I am so sad you have lost Flynny, as he was known to us on Bougainville for many years. Flynn was a loyal friend of 48 years.

To Camel and the kids and the whole Flynn family, we just want to tell you how sorry we are on the passing of John. It’s never easy to loose a loved one and he will definitely leave a huge void. John was always one for keeping contact with a letter or a chat and kept up contact with mum and dad throughout his life and still talking to mum towards the end. Unfortunately death is a part of life and while we’ll grieve below, I would like to think that John, now free of pain, will be happily chatting away in the heavens above to those who have been lost to us already.
Thinking of you all.
Mick (deceased) & Agnes Flynn, Theresa & family; Paddy (deceased) & Jo & family

Carmel, sincere sympathy on the loss of John. Many happy memories from Lion’s visits and a chat as he wheeled the barrow of Lion cakes around at the markets.

Dear Carmel & family,
We are beyond sad. It’s still so hard to believe that John left us so quickly. We will miss him so much. And I know Caleb will miss him so very much. He’ll miss his daily phone calls with John and all the postcards.
I’ll always cherish the last hug from John.
Thinking and praying for you Carmel and family. Lots of love, The Jackson 5 xxxxx

To Carmel, although we may not see each other often these day my thoughts and memories of stories told over Christmas notes remain treasured. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and family in these sad times. Let the happy and joyous memories support you all through this time and know that we will be thinking of you.
I first met John at Dookie Agricultural College in 1967, when we were both first year students there. We’ve met a few times since at Re-Union functions, and I heard about his passing on our Dookie Boys Grapevine. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss, and apology for my inability to attend the funeral on Saturday. I am committed to attend my Grand Daughter’s Netball Grand Final in Swan Hill. However, I will make sure to visit the Live Stream as a substitute for my inability to attend.
