John was one-of-a-kind.
I knew him through work at DPOWH, Grimsby.
He was strongly opinionated, could come across as cantankerous and difficult, but cared passionately about all children in his care and had a heart of gold.
He has been very much missed since he retired and will be in life by all who knew and loved him!

John was a very dear friend of my late father (Geoff Pass) and were both members of the Sub Aqua Club. I remember him very well and he was a lovely man. I know my Mum and Dad were very fond of him. My very best wishes and condolences to Judith and family.

Such a wonderful man, a true professional. Have him to thank for saving my Daughters life when she was born over 36 years ago. Such a sad loss.
