John Hampden Read

Our beloved John left for his last great adventure after a short illness, which he bore with typical and unwavering good cheer and sense of humour.

Much loved husband of Christine; father of Rebecca and Sophie; youngest brother of Rod, David (dec) and Richard (dec); brother-in-law of Marg, Jude and Maxine (dec), grandfather of his adored grandchildren Lachlan and Matthew; “naughty” uncle to his many nephews and nieces; and friend to many. Adventurer, walker, poet, and incurable romantic.

Given current circumstances, a small family service was held this week, with a view to a fitting celebration to a life well-lived at a later date.
