John Houlihan

John passed away peacefully at home on 7th March 2021 aged 64 years.

Survived by his dearly loved wife Tara,

children Benjamin, Amy, Jessica, Cassandra and Joshua

and his loved grandchildren.

 

Family and friends are invited to attend John's funeral service, in the Guildford Hall on

Saturday (March 13) commencing at 11.30am.  

Due to covid restrictions, only 70 people are allowed in the hall.  

We will be asking family members first, and there will be a marquee and outside speakers for those who cannot be inside.

As the weather is forecast to be a little unpredicable on Saturday, it may be best to bring along an umbrella as well.

 

After John's service all are invited to join his family at the Five Flags Hotel in Campbells Creek.

 

The family would appreciate copies of photos for a memorial and to keep for memories.

    I am truly shocked and saddened to hear this news.
    When I spoke to him only just at the end of November, he was the same jovial, upbeat person that I had been working with over the last few years.
    My deepest condolences to Tara, Benjamin, Amy, Jessica, Cassandra and Joshua and families.
    A great man taken too soon and who will be most sadly missed.
    R.I.P. John
