Said goodbye for the last time to this wonderful man. I have so many great memories of this man. He was one of a very small list that could light a room up just by walking in. I will be for ever grateful for the help support and joy John brought into my life.

if you had Jake as a friend, you had a true loyal friend for life who would do anything to help you. A true gentleman, a kind and caring man, a good laugh, a man who you could look up to and be inspired by. One of life`s truly nice genuine people. They don't make people like him anymore. One man who i looked up to and respected.
Rip mate.
