John passed away peacefully at 10am today, just come back to the house. Need to sleep then make arrangements over next few days.
Thanks all for the kind words and the support am on autopilot now and will grieve in my own time once i am back in boro.
Sad on this side of things and i can't begin to tell you what kind of a friend John has been, but he knows as well as i do that life goes on and so will i.
So again a small breathing space and then let the crunching begin...take no prisoners and all that wot! wot!
cheers peeps
