John was a real lovable character with a heart of gold.
Condolences to his family who he was very proud of.
It was a pleasure knowing and working with John for many years.
RIP Johny Boy.RIP John. You were a big influence on me growing up. A father figure and friend who was only too supportive of Damien’s musical endeavours, and many of which i was lucky enough to be involved with. Your family is your legacy.

We hold lovely memories of spending time with John, lots of laughs and drinks over the pool table. A beautiful and generous man who leaves a beautiful and generous family who he always expressed huge love and pride. Our hearts go out to you all.May he rest in eternal peace.
February 25, 2025Johnno, we’ve spent many nights together playing pool and solving the world’s problems one drink at a time. I’ll miss that immensely. My sincerest condolences to Gloria and the entire extended Van de Geer clan. John was one of a kind and I hope he’s not stuck talking to someone on his way up to the great pool hall in the sky cos it’ll take him a week to get there.
You’ll be missed mate.
February 25, 2025John has gone to his eternal home to meet His Father God in heaven.

Rest in peaceCondolences to you Gloria and family. John was a great friend and neighbour to us in Walkerville. He always cut a fine figure in his boiler suit and entertained us with lots of laughs and chats over the fence. Such good memories – I will never forget him playing air guitar and singing Black Sabbath with our young nephew, both had it word for word. Rest in peace mate.

RIP JohnnyIt’s 1971 the first time I see John. He looks like he escaped a dutch golden age oil painting. Were walking up a staircase he’s spraying water from a kettle on the people walking up. Look at the rainbows he shouts excitedly.
