John Linstead (1 Nov 1946 - 31 Jul 2020)

Thank you so much for all your help and advice with our garden in Brooke. Nothing was too much effort and always done with a smile . Malcolm and Jo

Goodbye old friend.

In fond memory of my neighbour John who often helped me in my garden, clipping hedges & pruning branches, and even dug a grave for my last cat Misty when I couldn't dig deeply enough. He will be much missed, but will be no longer in pain. I pray that his widow, my friend Pat, may find comfort and strength during this difficult experience of separation. My condolences to his daughters too. Photo is of him pruning one of my laurels.

In fond memory of my neighbour John who often used to help me in my garden, clipping hedges & pruning branches, and also dug the grave for my last cat Misty when I could not dig down deeply enough. Now no longer in pain but missed by many people. I pray that his widow Pat may find comfort and strength during this most difficult separation.

A gentle giant and a man I greatly admired....

‘Same old shit - different day!’

John Linstead, a giant of a man. One of those characters the world could do with more of. R.I.P. John, it was a pleasure to have known you.

A giant of a man on every level. . A privilege to have known and called him a friend first and foremost and also to have worked alongside a Norfolk legend.
Thank you John

Great memories of you John, they broke the mould after you.

Well, definitely wasn’t two like John. Lucky to have known and worked with him.

I’m so sorry to hear that John has passed away. He was a large part of my early days in the police . And although he scared me at first as a young 18 year old probationer.. it didn’t take me long to realise he was a gentle giant. I’m thinking of you all. My best wishes. Jo. Xxx

The world was a much better place with you in it John. Love to you and the rest of your family.

Thinking of you all and remembering the good times. Brian Bunting and Family xx

See you next time round John boy. You will be missed. A legend. Nick
