My thoughts are with you today and always. John was a wonderful man who, along with you, opened up his heart and home to me in a time when I needed it most. I will always enjoy the recipes John shared with me and value the warm memories I have of being in your home.
Sincere condolences Mrs Vandenberg and family, mum (Margaret Penno) and the rest of St Marks choir in Heaven will be waiting for Mr Vandenberg to arrive. It will be a battle of the choir masters Mr V and Mrs Mitchell. Mum will enjoy a catch up with a true gentle man and a gentleman. Rest In Peace. Ann Stevens & Family

Thinking of you all at this very sad time with the loss of Uncle John.
He was truly a wonderful man.
I am very thankful that I could view the beautiful service from afar, and to hear Damian and Michael
speak about their father, and listen to all that Uncle John had done through his life was amazing.
Even though I have not seen Uncle John for a few years now, I will always have very fond memories
of this lovely man.
Thank you to you all for putting together the memorable video.

Dear Aunty Pat & all the Vandenberg kids,
I have many warm memories of Uncle John. Thanks to all of you for your love, support and friendship when I was a kid growing up. I always felt loved and welcomed in your home.
Love Jaci
To my dear godfather and uncle. I’m going to miss your prayers you prayed everyday for me, but I know you are now dancing with the angels and meeting the Lord. I pray comfort and peace to your family. Love you lots and going to miss you at the family gatherings. Love you niece Bernadette❤️❤️❤️❤️
A loving, caring father and Opa. A great man who will be missed by not only his family but members of the community. Opa was a fighter and an excellent example to his children and grandchildren, we hope to continue making him and Nanna proud. May he Rest in Peace.
Our Condolences to Aunty Pat, Damian, Gerard, Mark, Michelle, David, Michael and families. Wonderful memories of Uncle John. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
A simple but beautiful service for yes, the humble larkin. I have many happy memories of Uncle John. So glad we saw him one last time last month. Big hugs to you all. Take care.
Love Bernadette.
My deepest sympathy to you all – Aunty Pat, Damien, Gerard, Mark, Michelle, David and Michael. Uncle John will always be remembered in my heart as always smiling, joking and loving life. Such a character. I hope in the near future we can share beautiful memories in person, a far more fitting farewell for such a special person.
What a lovely service. Mr Vandenberg would have been very happy with that, I’m sure.
Love and our best to you all. He was a massive part of our lives growing up and we still have our trophies that were engraved by him.
And many a Mr Vandenberg painting still adorn the walls of many of the homes in our family.
The extended Pawsey and Stock families send their love and best wishes.
Love especially to you, Michelle and to Mrs Vandenberg.
My deepest condolences to you all, John always made me feel so welcome and remembered everything we talked about last time no matter how much time had passed.
Sending much love and big virtual hugs to you all at this sad time.
Thank you for the live stream. It is great for regional congregation. John must have a special friendship with Jesus, to be called on Resurrection Day.
Dear Damian, Sharon, Jarrad, Benjamin and family,
We are deeply saddened by your loss; our love and thoughts are with you.
May fond memories of your dad bring you all comfort during this hard time in your life.
May he rest in peace.
Love Tiffinie, Scottie and Austin
