A memory from my father Kevin F Brooks: In loving memory of my cousin John Green. Who's enthusiasm for life, companionship and generosity of spirit was often overwhelming but always offered with genuine affection. A life of example and love well lived. Kevin 'George" Brook, Mudgee and Annabelle Lemaire-Brooks, Sydney,

I knew John from when he first came to Ocean Grove from Melbourne to reside and open a law practise here. He was certainly a flamboyant character in those days but that was what we loved about John. He was always willing to share a bottle of wine, good food and great stories and of course his poetry. We will miss you John not only as a good friend and council but will miss seeing that old Merc come up the street at "coffee time" Love you always. Wendy and Peter Lamanna
