Warm tributes in memory of Brook

george_brook_johnson_2Tributes have been paid following the passing of one of our leading lights.

Captain George Brook Johnson, who was Managing Partner and Principal at The Maritime Group Ltd (TMG), crossed the bar after a long fight against cancer.

Capt Johnson, who was TMG’s representative for Australasia, spent 49 years at sea after graduating as a cadet from the New Zealand Shipping Company in 1961.

Malcolm Parrott, who is TMG Managing Director and Executive Vice-President, said: “All at TMG are deeply saddened by Brook’s death and our sincerest sympathies go to his family.”

Capt John M Cox, TMG President, said: “Brook was an extremely valuable and very popular member of the TMG team.

“He played a pivotal role in making TMG the success it is today and will be very sorely missed by all and I am deeply upset by his passing.”

Bill Anonsen, Managing Director of TMG Pacific, added: “Brook will be missed by the many people whose lives he touched both professionally and personally.”

John W Bussell, lately TMG representative and Managing Partner in Singapore but now attached to TMG Europe in London, said: “I am sure Brook will be deeply missed within the shipping community where he was respected and more especially by his family.”

All at TMG send our condolences to Brook’s wife Anne and family at their home in Brisbane, Australia.
