Tributes

  1. Thank you for providing the livestream, Yvonne and I (Cathy Armstrong) appreciated watching live.

    Thank you for including a beautiful photo of Peter & Yvonne Armstrong with Margaret and John in the wonderful photo tribute.

    I have known John for 50 years and I always felt seen by John. I first met John when he renovated our Heidelberg home. John stayed at our home while working and he became part of our family. His nick name for me was ‘tiger’ as I was wearing p.j’s with a big tiger 🐯 on the front. I also barracked for Tigers AFL team. I still giggle at his many jokes.

    I did light a candle at church last Sunday and share some memories of John Little. I particularly reflected yesterday over my memories as it would have been his 82nd Birthday.
    Rest In Peace John.
    Cathy Armstrong.

  2. Condolences to John’s family. He was a steady strength and intelligence. Often placing others first, often offering help, advice and support needed for others to succeed. His generous spirit shaped lives, and he will be deeply missed.
