Guestbook

Its so sad to hear of John's passing. He was a wonderful man and was so kind and thoughtful to Jean. He was always the consummate gentleman and always had a twinkle in his eye. The last few years were challenging with his eye sight failing but he always went to great lengths to see Jean. Stoic, patient and a wonderful sense of humour - John, you will be missed.
