John lived in Haslingden as a child and moved to London in his teenage years, then met Nolene in 2002, where John lived in Stacksteads and had his family and got married in 2014.
John loved going on holiday in the caravan with Jenny, Anthony and kids and Nolene and their kids and his mother in law who he called Trish.
John also liked the odd game of bingo and going to Blackpool on days out. John was a very well loved man around Rossendale and would do anything for anyone. John was a very cheeky chap and he wasn’t shy when it came to talking to people.
