Sending all my love to Megan Mandy Les Kate and their families. I ll be thinking of you all today and remembering John with love and laughter.

Rest In Peace with your brothers and your parents, in the company of all mighty God.
And do not worry about Diana, she is in good hands with all the family who loves her dearly.
The Niels Family

I owe a lot to you Uncle John. When I turned up on your doorstep as a 20 year old from New Zealand, you took me into your Family in Stafford, just in time for the move to Ringwood.
You mentored me and used your contacts to get me a job in Ringwood, then later in London.
I often think fondly of the Family times with you, Auntie Meg, Mandy, Les, Little John & Katie. Like your special Sunday Steak au Poivre.
And I still remember digging the swimming pool in that 1976 record summer. That was epic. And driving Manitou fork lifts at the Royal Show.
I am forever grateful for the massive part you played in my life, Rest in Peace Uncle John.

Meg, Mandy, Leslie, Kate and families, wishing you peace to bring comfort, the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. Today and always, may fond memories bring you peace, support and strength. With all my love and deepest sympathy as we remember John

Remembering John for his dedication and commitment that he gave to the business during the years. In establishing Merlo UK he laid the foundations of the successful business it became. From all at Merlo to the Iles family are thoughts are with you.
RIP John

My thoughts and memories are with you all today.
RIP John a true and lovely gentleman
