I echo the thoughts above, a true friend - especially on the Four go to Portugal trips. John, you will be missed and I think all your putts in paradise will be gimmies. I also remember John and Chris having bonfire parties in their back garden, pre Twiss Green displays, Happy memories will stay with me always Allan Witter

Very many happy memories playing golf with you in Portugal,Turkey and of course, at Royal Leigh as well as watching the fireworks at Twiss Green from your garden. You will be greatly missed by many and we thank you for having touched our lives. Rest in peace, my friend, Neil Gowans

Many happy memories of doing battle with John on the fairways and greens of Portugal particularly in the early days of “Four Go to Portugal”. Great times. Rest in peace JW and hope you will add to your collection of “birdies” on the lush greens of paradise. KT

So sorry to hear this tragic news John was a lovely man had many happy times with him both on and off the golf course, he will be missed. Ian Gregson

Rest in peace John “To find a man’s character play golf with him”- PG Wodehouse. Until we can play golf again may the fairways be wide and the hazards trivial. Taken too early from your lovely family and friends . Thinking of you all and sending love and prayers Joanne Finn

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.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
