John Michael Okroj (12 Feb 1952 - 27 Sep 2020)

Have only just read of John's passing. I joined the Police in 1981 as a Police Cadet and was posted to Hucknall. John was my tutor. keith Spink and the late Jed Walker worked alongside John. True character and great mentor. Many happy memories of John and I on patrol together...and not forgetting the odd visit to the Bestwood Hotel for 'licence' checks?? Thought's go to his family.

Sadly missed by all who knew you.

Thinking of you all at this very sad time and remembering all the happy times we shared together, Lots of love from Helen & Barrie

Love never dies and John was loved by many including his family and friends. He had a big presence and will be so missed by us all especially Carol , Louise and Richard and his grand-children. He was a loving brother to me and it was such an unexpected loss. Anne-marie your big sister. xx

In loving memory of my brother John who passed away suddenly at Hayward House after only a short time there but thanks for the care provided to him.

You will be sadly missed by all who knew you. I never did ‘get changed’ and always grateful you had a comb.

All our love
Dave & Jane

We love you John - hope you’ve got your comb..... xxx

Thinking of Carol, Richard, Louise and families, I was so saddened yesterday when I heard the very sad News of the death of John. I haven't seen him for a few years but I have many happy and fond memories of such a lovely, kind, caring and family man. I first met John in 1984 when I worked along side him. He told many stories and stared his experience and knowledge of the job he loved.

He was a very good mentor and work colleagues, he was hard working, thorough and dedicated to his profession. He will be sadly missed I'm sure, by so many people that had the opportunity and pleasure to work along side him. He was a true gentleman. It's so sad that due to COVID that many people won't be able to join his family to say goodbye. I'm sure many will be thinking of him and his family. Sending all his family lots of love at this very sad and emotional time.

Dawn, Gary and Family xxx
