It's so hard to believe that this kind, thoughtful, generous gentleman has departed this earth. John was such a character, always up for a laugh, and we have so many memories of good times spent together with you and Sue, times when we've all laughed so hard we've been brought to tears. We'll always remember your little ditties and sayings and the way you always saluted Magpies. While we'll never get to share such times together again, we will always have you in our memories and hearts John. Rest in peace John x

Thank you for setting up this memorial to John. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
