Subject: Rest In Peace Johnny

The shock still hasn't worn off.
My deepest condolences to you Sonia, family and friends.

All I can think of is last March and the wine tour in Barossa.
Never met two people as happy and willing to party as Johnny and Sonia. I was really looking forward to catching up with the two of you over Christmas.

I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense.. my mind is racing, yet I cant write anything. I cant even imagine what Sonia is going through, I hope you find comfort in that you're not alone.

So often we joked about how soon we will have to bill RR Fierce as from Adelaide not the UK as he was down here so often. Your home away from home is grieving. I recollect him being keen on moving up to Mt Lofty at one stage.

Johnny you are sorely missed by the Adelaide crew, I know you can't be here in person, but you'll be with us through your music and our thoughts.

Respect and Love to family, friends and the Hard House Community
Keep Rockin where ever you are geezer.
