The funeral of Sergeant John Windsor at the Christ Church Cathedral.

THERE was a potent message from the funeral yesterday of popular former Grafton policeman Sgt John Windsor … get your skin checked regularly for skin cancers.

Sgt Windsor’s two daughters Alison and Jenny told a packed Christ Church Cathedral their father, a devoted and loving family man, had died after a long battle with melanoma.

“We urge you all to see a doctor and get your skin checked,” they told the congregation.

They described their father as a simple man who enjoyed the simple things in life, someone who didn’t like crowds and never wanted to be the centre of attention.

“He was dedicated to his friends, his family and work,” they said.

“He always had a friendly g’day.”

They said he was a man of limited fashion sense, who wore trademark check shirts for 30 years and an Akubra hat, and loved to travel – with a particular fascination for Queensland.

He also had a deep appreciation of food and a soft spot for animals.

“He was a gentle soul who lived his life with integrity and honour,” they said.

Many of his former colleagues in the NSW Police Force, including many who are now retired, attended yesterday’s service and spoke of his dedication to serving people.

Coffs Clarence Local Area Police Commander Mark Holahan said that when he first arrived at the Grafton Police Station as a young constable in 1987, Sgt Windsor was a calming influence.

“He retired on January 9, 2009, having spent 37 years and 162 days in the service of New South Wales,” he said.

“Rest in peace, old friend, you have served your community to the best of your ability. Vale John Windsor.”

Another of his former colleagues, Senior Sergeant Chris Tuite, gave a list of words to describe Sgt Windsor.

He said he was loving, particularly of his two daughters and wife Margaret, his father Keith and the police.

“He loved coming to work and you could set your clock by him,” he said.

He was kind and never had a harsh word against anyone.

He was respectful and showed this with his dealings with his superiors and women.

And he was generous.

“He was always a gentleman in the true definition of the word,” Sen Sgt Tuite said.

Sgt Windsor was 58.
