  • John is second from the right with three classmates from Gillingham Technical School. The photo was taken in 1955 on a school trip to Lunteren Holland.

  • This photo captures John very well. He was a great friend from1952 until his passing on Good Friday this year. He was an intelligent and generous hearted man and in later life a great raconteur.We sat together at Gillingham Technical School for four years and grew towards becoming an adult together. He will be very much missed by me.
