John Andrew Parkinson (10 Nov 1936 - 20 Mar 2023)

Uncle Johnnie will always be remembered to me as the Great Uncle that took time to show interest in my life, to ask after me and share the most amazing advice. He could always make me laugh and shared the same unique humour as my Grandad, Jim Parkinson. I remember growing up knowing that Great Uncle Johnnie was a huge part of our family lives and I know he helped us as a family in many ways. He will be forever in my heart as a true gentleman that spread his kindness, compassion and integrity wherever he went. We were very sad to not be able to make the funeral, but have planted a tree in memory of our dear Great Uncle in our garden. Sending love to all the Parkinson’s and extended family. Chloe and Bertie xx

Working hard had kept us young over the years and we very much value your friendship. Your family can justifiably be very proud of what you have achieved

Cherished memories of our lovely Uncle John. Love to Aunty Ang, Tony, Julie and Pete xxx

John was a kind and thoughtful man - a true gentleman. My late husband Bob Bras and I enjoyed John’s many visits over the years to our pet food company in Streetsville, Ontario, Canada, and to our home. John was a delight to work with - refreshing really. As well I will recall fondly our stay with John and his lovely wife Angie - the perfect hostess and host. I am saddened to hear of his passing, but am a better person for having known him. My condolences to his family. Fondly - Maggie Bras

Lovely memories of our first next door neighbours in Newcastle and the wonderful times we had together before he departed for Leicestershire.

Many a fond memory, you will be greatly missed.

Sincere condolences

In memory of John, a true gentleman God bless xx

A wonderful loving man whom I will miss greatly.

Dear Uncle John was always present in my life throughout my childhood and into my life as an adult He always inspired me and often provided sage advice and thoughtful generosity. He was always truly interested to hear of our business stories and any future plans we had in mind. Georgina and I were fortunate enough to spend many sunny holidays with Uncke John and Aunty Angie in the hills of southern Spain. When our children Joshua and Mia arrived they too enjoyed his fun loving approach to most situations. They loved “Uncle Grandad” and they have always remembered our times together.
We will miss the perfect Uncle.
Love to Aunty Angie Tony Julie Peter and all the younger ones. We will be thinking of you all.
