This is John, a loving husband, father and grandad. John was a fit and active man who was exposed to asbestos as an electrician in the redevelopment of city buildings in the 60's and when working on Torrens Island in the early 70's. He was diagnosed with asbestos disease in 2005 following a routine soccer referee's health check. In 2008 he was diagnosed with mesothelioma and he died 16 months later in 2010.


Every year 4000 Australians die from asbestos related disease.
