I have just learned of John´s death and wish to add my heartfelt condolence to Jill and to the family. I came to know him through the Christchurch Club. He was a very fine man indeed. John´s contribution to the club will never be forgotten. Jill´s loss and that of his children and grandchildren will be great but tempered I hope by many happymemories and justified pride in his reputation and achievements.

To Jill and family, deepest sympathy. John was a wonderful mentor during our days at Ian Johnstones. How the years have flown. My husband died last month. John was a good man. Kay Hood
