Rest in peace John, I’ve only just seen this. He was a good friend of my stepdad Colin Short, and after Colin passed away he was the only person who checked in on my mum, Celia, who passed away 2nd November 2020. Such sad news,, John was a lovely bloke 🙏🙏x

Our thoughts are with Mr Sloopy's family at this difficult time. Such a larger than life character that will be sorely missed by all.
Sending love and best wishes the Chandlers xxxx

So sad to hear this news. John always brought a smile to my face, without fail. Such a great guy. We will miss you John. My thoughts are with John's family at this very sad time.

There were so many sides to Mr Sloopy's personality that will be sorely missed, his loyalty as a true friend to my Dad (Puffing Billy aka C. Chandler), how he always had a joke or something cheeky to say, his love of American cars and his ever keenness to help us all out, as and where he could. He really has left us far too soon. Yet another one gone from a generation that is disappearing too quickly. All the very best to those going tomorrow. Holly Chandler.
