I first met John when he moved to London and married my dear friend Germaine. I always thought of him as a big teddy bear. He was a very kind and gentle man. I will miss our lunch dates when he and Germaine came into London for a visit. I am so very saddened to hear of his passing. My sincerest sympathies to Germaine and to the rest of his family.

John and Germaine are great next door neighbours. John so many times saw our deaf dog and didn’t run over her when she would wonder clearly right into his path. Always cheerful we will miss chatting with him over the back yard fence. Our deepest sympathy to Germaine and family
