Prayers and condolences to all who will miss this great and wonderful man. John you were a very special man in my life. I have so many great memories of you and Penny that will always be close to my heart. My visits to England will never be the same. Love and miss you always.

A clever man.He had a wonderful sense of humour,was generous to a fault.IS greatly missed.He was more than just a relative,he was someone I was proud to call "friend".His passing leaves a hole that can never close.My sympathies to Penny ,my mum and all that knew/loved this truly great man.

Dear Grandad,
No words can explain how much i miss you, no words can explain how much i love you, no words can explain quite how i'm feeling at this moment in time. Every night since your passing i've took a walk down to the Humber bank were i get time to think and time to talk to you, just me and you. i look up in the sky and see the brightest star and just know that that's you looking down on me, on all of us.i pray to you, hoping that you're in a much better place where you're no longer in pain. i tell you every single day how much i love you. how much i wish i could of seen you more in the times we had chance too because now i regret not doing so. i know i barely saw you when you were alive but you were always in my thoughts and always in my heart. the times we did get to spend with each other were amazing. The time you hired that big mini bus and me, you, grandma penny, mum, dad and my sisters all went out for the day - Scarborough i think it was. We spent all day there, looking round the shops, the castle,the beach, walking down every street we could. Laughing and smiling we all was together. The time when we all came to visit to you at your house and then we stayed over it was so exciting our first sleepover at Grandads house! I remember you always wearing your cowboy hat and waistcoat and that's how i will always remember you. I love you with all of my heart, not a day goes by where i'm not thinking about you. I will look after dad - your first born, for you. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN GRANDAD, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FROM LAURA XXXXXXXXX
