Tribute from Paul Cheal  

“When I heard the news on Sunday at Hainault it was truly a GREAT SHOCK. To me John was a very down to earth man, so easy to talk to and have a chat. Working in the education industry for a just a few years, I could always rely on John to have a general discussion and see what his point of view was, especially the length of time he had been doing the same job. From what I gather he was really looking forward to his retirement and a well earned rest, so for this to happen is such a sad loss. My thoughts go out to his family at this most difficult time. John may you R.I.P for now and always, and if I can do half as good a job in the industry you worked in for nearly my whole living life, then I hope I have done good. “
