Thanks Uncle John for all of the laughs and memories. You have left a legacy of famous one-liners and I will remember my childhood holidays with you, Aunty Kay and Chris with fondness. You certainly always knew how to bring extra life to a party and our lives were richer for having had you in them. RIP to an absolute legend xx
