As you know, I got to know John at Hull in the 1960s. He stood out as a guy with an attractive personality - talented and witty, and kind; and, as I discovered, with a rare gift for friendship.
After university, when I was going through a personally difficult time, John was a terrific support - in fact a life-saver; I will never forget his friendship and generosity pf spirit.
We all know too that John was a great pianist and guitarist - he was the main inspiration for my taking up guitar. There are many who like me whose lives have been enriched - in the life of the emotions as well as musically - through knowing John.
It was a privilege to have known you, John, and we will always miss you. Love, Paul (Plummer)
