I first met John around 20 years ago at Carole and Kevin's wedding. He was friendly, warm and made people laugh. When Chris died, he became not only family but a close friend. His love for his family, especially his pride in Reanne and Chloe was great, and I'll always be grateful for his friendship and support. I haven't had contact with John for some years but he will always hold a special place in my heart and I am so grateful for the time I spent with him. To all his family, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and I hope that these messages bring you some comfort in this time of sadness. All my love xxx
