  3. My earliest memory of John is from the time he was playing football as a “big” high school boy on the primary school oval (I was in primary school). Little did I know that we would play football and cricket together for Mirboo North over the next few years. I remember him taking a slips catch off my bowling at Yinnar one day and I remember us batting together at Mirboo North when we scored over 400 in a day. John made one of his many centuries that day. He was and will always be a strong memory for me to hold on to. While I moved around the states for work he was always a strong Mirboo North identity and I was pleased to meet up with him again several times over the last few years. Always pleasant, always willing to have a chat and always a staunch Mirboo North man. Thanks for the memories, John. May you rest in peace.
