Mr John Oswin Smith

I have such fond memories of talking with John over many years on his walks around the area where he lived. It was always a delight to see both him and Berenice. I am so sorry that he has gone too soon but I can still hear his voice clearly. Such a lovely man and a joy to have known him.

Ms Diana Wallwork

A warm and generous man, a true gentle-man of the old school. Bless you John.

Ms Fiona Strachan

Remembering my beloved brother, Oswin, with thanks for all the kindnesses over our lifetimes. He cared to make the world a better place for so many people as well as our family. I shall think of him every time I hear a Swanage Railway locomotive whistle, he was a railway man through and through as well as the loveliest of men.

Mrs Angela Cox

A wonderful and long lasting friend since meeting at Sussex university in 1965.
