The obituary notice of John Allen SALLNOW

Sad to see this news, very belatedly. John was my personal tutor for three years, from 1984 to 1987. I greatly valued his kindness, supportiveness and humour. I have fond memories of our tutorials, lectures and fieldtrips, and the occasional coffee or dinner over the years since. Never forgotten.

I have seen this sad news very belatedly. I was one of John's students at plymouth poly in the 80's. He was a very good lecturer, and entertaining with it. Our great field trip to Yugoskavia lives on the memory. What a character he was, and I'm so sorry not to have sought him out in more recent years. Jon Fox

I was a mature student at Plymouth Polytechnic (as it was) and met John shortly after starting my B.Sc. Geographical Sciences course. Over three years, he became a much valued tutor and dissertation supervisor. He was always willing to chat about both academic and personal issues and I sought his counsel on a number of occasions. I am so sorry to hear that he has left us - a true gentleman!

I am very sad to hear this. I worked closely with John in the British Association for the Advancement of Science (as it was then). Geographers in arms! John was a great support to me when I became ‘Recorder’. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.
