Dear Mandy and family,

I was so shocked and saddened by the loss of our dear John.

John was one of those rare honourable human beings and a true gentleman.

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about John is how calm and positive he was and this had an effect whenever you spoke with him. We often chatted in the kitchen whilst making our morning brew and afterwards, I always felt relaxed and happy thinking all is good because we have people like John, he really did have a positive impact on his friends and colleagues because of his kindness, generosity and consideration of others and we were all better for it.

May the happy memories you shared with John give you comfort in the difficult days ahead.

My sincere condolences.

Frances
