Messages of condolence

In memory of John, my brother and Fiona's brother-in-law, much loved, much missed.

Mr Rob Wilkes

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Mr Tolga Aydemir

He was so full of life. I miss him enormously. So very sad.

Ms Linda Pearl

Whenever I remember John, he's smiling, and making those around him smile. A great loss.

Mr David Griffin

John approached everything with such a genorous sense of humour regardless of circumstance, and never took himself seriously. It was always a joy working with him and he will be greatly missed.

Dr Euan Smith

It was a real privilege to spend two short hours with John, when invited to Jo's for lunch, sadly the only time I met him. It is indeed a great loss, mostly for my dear Jo, but I believe his spirit flies high and we must all try to live our lives following his example of kindness, integrity and devotion.

Ms Liz Sharp
