Lion John, you will be truly missed. Your smiling face even when hot and sweaty whilst cooking hotdogs and chips at the fireworks. Rest in peace as you now carry out your higher service where I believe that you will spend eternity looking out for those whom you have left behind. Till we meet again one day.
