Although I have not seen you in too long a time, I will miss you, John. I will continue to be reminded of you daily by living artworks - as if I need reminding! - and will think of lovely moments going back to La Trobe days, the call every birthday that will be terribly missed, the wonderfully crafted cumulative epithets with which I was always greeted. A beautiful man. A treasured life. Deepest condolences to Margaret, Josephine and Catherine and families. Travel well, kind soul. Barry Sheehan
