Sir Jeremy Elwes
I was privileged to know John Sparrow as a fellow Liveryman of the Stationers Company and, in particular to work with him when he chaired a working party that recommended major changes to the Livery Committee. He was a brilliant Chairman and a delightful companion, especially at a meal. Just a few years ago, I asked him if he was going to be at a Civic Dinner - his response: "I don't do grand dinners any more, but I am an excellent luncher!"
He will be sorely missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.
