I'm so so sad to have just learnt about John's passing! We spent some wonderful silly and fun working and leisure times together all those years ago in Worthing and Lucerne. Very fond memories of a Gent, friend and consummate professional. Sorry about the broken leg again!
R.I.P. John - am thinking of you and Andrea and the family. Just feel so sad we didn't see each other these last years. But the memories remain.

John was a fantastic colleague, mentor, friend and leader. He guided me through my career at the Royal Opera House as only John could. He was a great boss and the ROH, Royal Ballet and Royal Opera owns John so much for what he put into these institutions. He was the ultimate professional and you could always trust that John knew best ......and he always got his way!!. Terrible to be taken so young and I'll certainly miss him. Cheers, Geoff

Seeko was a fount of knowledge and fun. During our long time together at ROH, not a day went by without masses of laughter, often with tears but he could always beat me in a crying competition! He will be sorely missed.

Thank you to all who came to the service yesterday, and to those that tuned in to the Committal live stream. The Requiem Mass was not able to be streamed, but the eulogy can be read here for those that are interested. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v9FaEsTnLGCsH_hWuAsrLAEwqR4LLK4U/view?usp=sharing

We have many beautiful memories of happy times spent with John, Andrea and their lovely family. We will always remember our very dear friend John, a truly lovely man.
