John BUTLER

"A lovely gentleman" according to the wonderful team at Fitzroy of Merivale who cared for him in his last years. Beloved brother to Sue and Richard (deceased), Dad to Annabel, Nick and Jono (deceased), uncle to a terrific tribe, and good friend to a select few, Johnny died peacefully on July 30, 2026 aged 86. We'll always remember his sense of humour, eye for art, ear for music and love of fine automobiles. He leaves a big hole in our lives. John didn't want a service.
