Celebrating John Shortall

By Peita Shortall

John Shortall

On Sunday the 25th of January 2026 our beloved father John Shortall lost his battle against Glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive type of Brain Cancer. 

We will be celebrating Dads life at midday on the 5th of February at the North Chapel, Pinegrove. The Shortall Family welcomes everyone but does ask not to bring or send flowers. Instead we would like to request a donation is made to the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation.

There is still so much unknown about Glioblastoma and its treatment. For this reason further research is not only important, but necessary. 

Any amount you can give will go a long way towards funding innovative and groundbreaking research.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

On behalf of TBH, we extend our deepest condolences to John’s family and loved ones. John was a significant part of TBH for many years. His dedication, integrity, and steady leadership left a lasting impact on our business and on the many people who had the privilege of working alongside him. He will be remembered not only for his professional contribution, but also for the care and commitment he showed to those around him. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very difficult time.
