The obituary notice of John Richard BADHAM

I’ve been out of touch with John for a couple of years and was so saddened to hear of his passing. John was a rare character these days, one of a kind. His intellect was phenomenal, and he could hold his own on so many subjects. I found him to be a true gentleman, even in conflict situations which I know he faced with his Council work. John might have vehemently disagreed with the views being expressed, but he never once resorted to anything less than professional conflict resolution. He made the world a better place and I’m very grateful God gave me the opportunity to get to know him.

Rest in peace John 🙏

John made our children's early schooling at Moor Park a very happy time for us all. What a gift.
Sending our sincere condolences to Marion and the family and sorry we were not available to attend his funeral Mass due to prior commitments.

John Badham was an honourable, kind and loyal man. His old-fashioned sense of justice informed his daily life. John’s naivety meant he always saw the best in people. He believed that people would “do the right thing” because that is what he would do. His contribution to his pupils lives, to his work colleagues and to his many causes cannot be underestimated. His friends will miss his energy and steadfast nature. The hole that he leaves in his family life will never be filled, but his family had the best of him – they had his love.

In memory of my former colleague, John, who was a good friend on many occasions and who helped my daughter generously. May he rest in peace. God grant comfort to Marion, his wife, and all his family.
