I was best friends with John’s son Peter at school and stayed with the family at the farm in Keysbrook several months before Peter’s death. All I can say it was a pleasure to stay with the family. They were so kind to me during the stay and we had a ball. I’m sure Peter is with his dad now. RIP John.

What a lovely tribute. Can I please ask what happened to the interview with Desmond Cussen? Is it still in existence and if so, how would one gain access to it?

Thanks

This has been an excellent and deeply moving tribute to a truly great individual.

I am very saddened to hear that John has gone on ahead of us, he was one of the best and kindest men I have ever met in all my time in the entertainment industry. My warmest condolences to those who loved him and love his memory, I am sure that he will be sorely missed.

Helen Harrison, former TVW Graphics Designer and I were married by John at Midland Methodist Church in September 1970 – we have been happily together now for over 42 years, I’m sure he would be pleased to know that. He was a gentleman and a gentle man. We are deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Bless you John, and thank you Ken for a fine tribute.

Congratulations Ken a very fine tribute to a fine and wonderful man. He was a very close friend of mine and his passing has left a very big pain in my heart. It’s a pity that there are very few men of John’s qualities

I had the privilege or working with The Rev from 1988 until we both retired in 2004. He was the most intelligent, caring and compassionate man I have known. We had a great working relationship and whether it was compiling messages and letters for the various Premiers we worked under or speeches for Ministers, Deputy Premiers and even the WA Governor, John had the ability to hit the right note leaving my main role to be a recorder of his thoughts and messages. He was “family” to me, sharing my joys and disappointments over the years. He was a great man and I miss him. It was typical of him that he wanted no fanfare on his departure and it is good to know that this article will revive memories of his working life and his value to the media industry.

Another wonderful story Ken and a great read with lots of reminiscing.
Congratulations again on your continued efforts to record the history of TV and our industry, which without your great compilation skills would not be the same. “Keep up the great work”.
Your stories, I am sure are welcomed by many who do not comment, but I believe when someone is doing a good job they deserve commendation.
With Best wishes, Harry Smith
