I knew him in a few roles, including AG. I always found him amenable, affable, sensible and good at his job - also pleasant to be around, a nice guy. A sad loss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I think it was Mona Street, one of the streets off Bucks Road, Jimmy, his dad was a chiropodist, lovely man and loved singing as did his mum Josie, both members of choirs. Lovely family, his brother and sisters will be devastated as well as his closer family, John was the eldest. , 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely family, his brother and sisters will be devastated as well as his closer family, John was the eldest. , John was like many more of a generation local advocates who made good , never flustered always helpful and very precise and never forgot himself , His parents were loverly people , and John worked hard in his young days ,from a humble beginnings to get his qualifications , I had the pleasure of working with him for several years , and always found him a decent and honourable man , who would always shed a tear of sympathy on the failings of another fellow man , and at the same be the first to offer support and support 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
