I had the pleasure of meeting John (Jonty’s Pickles) on many occasions in my past role as Community Fundraiser at The Kirkwood. What a gentleman he was and his dedication and tireless fundraising in memory of his beloved Pat was incredible. Condolences to his family and friends, he will be sadly missed by many.

I'm so sorry that we didn't have longer with you.
You will leave an enormous hole in our lives.
Goodnight Dad, God Bless xxxx
