Dear, dear John. You came to Central and protected me from an animal Inspector who tried to sack me cos of my stammer. We fought together. Protected each other and had a superb social life. You were guest of honour at my promotion do and you looked at me with pride. Rod D told me that you had passed away and I burst into tears. I will never, never forget you. I love you. Graham. x

So sad to hear that John has passed. Like the two previous comments John was one of my first Sergeants too. His experience, advice and support was invaluable to me. He was always bright and cheery and he will be sadly missed. Sorry but I’m unable to attend his funeral due to residency in the US, but my thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
