MAY, John Edward

On Wednesday, January 11, 2023, at Springlands Lifestyle Village. In his 95th year. Deeply loved and cherished husband of the late Pauline. Treasured and respected Father/Father-in-law of Cheryl and Phillip Sowman, Janette May (Deceased) Sandeep Davli (Wellington), Dianne and Henry Raemaekers (Perth) and the late Paul. Cherished Pop of Brad and Monique (Australia), Nina and Roger (Blenheim) and Josh (Perth). Great-Pop to Sophia, Cruz, Ava, Archie and Evie. John was a passionate Marlbourian, who keenly shared his local knowledge. Never backward to lend a hand to help get a job done. He was humbled to receive the “Paul Harris” medal for service to Rotary. John also gave decades of service to the Marlborough Vintage Car Club, Brayshaw Park, Probus and other committees. The majority of his working life was spent as a loyal Cuddon employee for over 40 years. Taking pleasure from life’s simple things, he loved a bit of banter, company of friends and a good laugh. His unconditional love enriched our family. Our hearts are sad but rest peacefully knowing you will always be deeply loved. Messages to the family can be sent to 41 Swamp Road, RD3 Blenheim. A private cremation at the Sowman Crematorium has been held.
