Deeply saddened on the the passing of my beloved Uncle John. His generosity, warmth, wisdom, dedication to family, sharp wit and laughter touched the lives of everyone who knew him. He will be dearly missed but forever cherished in our hearts.

Rest in peace John, onto the next innings. James, Carol-Ann, Helena & Patrick xx
