Dear Jean. All your patchwork friends send their condolences at the sad loss of your husband. We are thinking of you and at this time and send our love.
Please accept the sympathy from members of the Te Awamutu Brass Band. John was a gentleman and was available at a time the band required an extra cornet player at
contests or concerts. RIP John. Steve and Denise Wilson

Dear John,
The brass band community will be so sad to hear of your passing. You were such an incredible beacon to so many young players and always had a kind and encouraging world.
I will miss you as a a dear friend and seeing your vacant seat in Cambridge Brass Band will be very sad. But know John that the band will continue to flourish and you have left it in good hands.
Love
