Thinking of you today on what would have been your 79th birthday. You would have loved to have joined us for a curry, one of your favourite foods. We missed having you there to talk about the latest detective series. I hope that wherever you are there is a jacuzzi because you knew that “bubbles maketh the man”.

Mr B one of the greats you will be sorely missed. I will always look back with fond memories - from the time I came to Spain with you to the numerous times you woke up to find me passed out on your couch to which you made as much noise as humanly possible to get me up and off it.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to John. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
