My deepest sympathies go out to you Martin and your family.
I would like to share a very special moment for me that I had with Johnny and Ray was our driver at this event.
In a beautiful, bright day Johnny and Ray were taken me to Toby Carvery. At this time Ray was driving a small, red car Ford fiesta with two doors. When I got to the car I went to the door to take the back seat but Johnny just got off of the front seat and say: No, no, you are going to the front seat and I am going to the back seat. I was quite shocked because I know how is difficult to get to the back seat in a small car and also uncomfortable, especially for a man at age of ninety with a pain in his knees. On my mind were traveling thoughts about that I am 38th years old, and he is at the same age of my Grandfather, who I will never let him to folded itself on the back seat in a small car. So, I just said: No, no, Johnny, please, let me go to the back seat. He adamantly refused.
We were looking at each other in the eyes and there was not about who will win, who is healthy or not, but was about, what is the right thing for me to do when I am surrounded by true Gentlemen's. It left for me to take that lovely gesture, only. And at the next moment I was not seeing an elderly man anymore.
There was standing humble, decent, healthy man with no Age, who was giving me the right of being women and briskly almost jumped to the back seat.
He made it simple but significant.
May he rest in peace.
John Robert Frederick Johnson (27 Mar 1921 - 15 Oct 2016)
In loving memory of John Robert Frederick Johnson who sadly passed away on 15th October 2016
