I simply don’t have the words to convey both the shock at John’s passing and offer those closest to him the smallest degree of consolation. Any words I write would not be enough. Today, so many people chose to criticise and put people down. But its people like John we should strive to be more like. People like John – a gentleman. People like John – who was intelligent, kind and considerate. People like John – who tried to see the best in people. My deepest sympathies to all his family and friends. David
