We only knew John for a couple of years but will always remember him as a kind and helpful man. He is sadly missed on his afternoon park strolls with Barbara and Bonnie by his neighbours and friends. RIP John.

John was an amazing friend and neighbour to me for 25+ years in Wellington Square, he looked after me when I was very sick in 2017, I will never forget his kindness. I used to look forward to our annual leaf tidy up in December, John would organise everyone and Barbara would make mince pies and warm drinks for everyone, just one of the many happy memories
