Joining the livestream from Iowa USA. What a lovely service for such a lovely dad. Sue, Shirley, Mat giving you all a long-distance hug. My husband adored meeting ‘duck’ during our honeymoon to the UK in 2013, and I so hope they are reunited now and talking cars and family. You are missed!

John, you were the best brother anyone could wish for, kind, helpful, always ready to lend a hand when asked. Always cheerful when we met or spoke on the phone. John never had an unkind word to say to anyone. If everyone was like you the whole world would be a far better and happier place. I will always miss you, my brother but you will always be in my heart and thoughts. Bern

Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of John. Your very kind donations in memory of John really will help St Wilfrid’s Hospice and are very much appreciated. We hope that you find his Tribute Fund a present and future way to celebrate his life.
