April 24, 2020 - April 24, 2020

John Gardiner, ANSTO's Property Manager based at Lucas Heights, sadly passed away on Friday 24 April, 2020. This news will come as a shock to many who worked with John and it’s a significant loss to the ANSTO community. During his time at ANSTO, John made a significant contribution working on major projects including the Innovation Precinct, as well as NMI and CSIRO matters. John contributed greatly to the development of all ANSTO’s campuses. As property manager, John was the face of ANSTO among the tenants, building strong relationships with all. Many of them have been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis and John had been working with them to provide support in recent weeks. Due to COVID-19 there are modifications to funeral gatherings so please share your memories and pass on your condolences to John's family. John was liked by many across ANSTO. He was the absolute professional and highly regarded for his composed nature and thoughtfulness. He was a valued ANSTO senior manager and will be greatly missed.

To You John - a heartfelt THANK YOU for your helpfulness, for Your incredible sense of reality, for being always the voice of reason, for finding practical solutions where others were losing their grip, for Your personal approach to all matters, for BEING THERE always when someone need help, for Your unassuming presence which enriched all around with goodwill and kindness. Your unwavering determination to do better, to be better, to work better, to perform better to be the best You could be — spurred others in their own pursuits and encouraged greater group efforts. You let the wrongs go by without holding a grudge, and so you were free to spread good humour and kindness, thus contributing to general welfare of all around. The jokes, “internet funnies” and interesting videos you used to send were always in good taste and fun or amazement. You never forgot birthdays, and there was always an elegant card from you for all festive occasions, I cherish them always as a source of continued friendship like a fragrance of a flower. Asked for a favour you sprang into action immediately and never expected rewards for it. At work, in Your devotion to Scouting and in private life You always gave all You had. Above all else, You loved Your children with all Your heart, involuntary tears would roll down Your face when you were talking about them, with Your voice tender and soft. They were Your life. Your true love will continue to enrich their lives forever. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LIFE, THANK YOU FOR BEING A GOOD FRIEND. Bo Robertson
