Paul has always shared stories about you with affection, admiration and awe !

He couldn’t label it, but he knew there was something just so unique about you and he was desperate for me to be introduced to you and so I couldn’t wait and from the moment I met you, I understood.

Throughout our children’s lives they’ve heard lots about you and so they were excited when we told them we were visiting Bournemouth to see you.

We’d told them that visit was about you, a long over due catch up and about them finally meeting you.

After years of hearing about you it is with understandable curiosity that they asked ‘Mummy, what is it that makes you and Daddy think John Hunter is so special?’

To which we simply replied

“Everything”.

And then they met you and they felt it too.

We’re all hooked John, it’s so hard to let you go.

Rest well our very special friend. You will be missed and remembered forever x
