I thank Johan for his big laugh, cheeky grin, with wide adventurous stories, and positive spirit.
Always a keen and engaging character who was curious to ask about whatever we were involved in and ready to be impressed and supportive.
I will always be very happy to have these memories.
Together we both enjoyed his company.
We regret not being able to be at the service today but have been thinking of Johan and family.
With much love.
Stephen and Trish
