John really was the most amazing man. He did so much for me, in my darkest moments and he never failed to show such kindness and compassion. The world is a darker place without him in it.
Sending so much love to his family for the loss of this incredible man x

I still can't believe that I won't get that special squeeze, that kindly smile, that listening ear and the support you provided so readily.
You have left a hole in my heart John. I hope that you will meet up with my mum and be able to finally stop fretting about "that" disaster!
Bless you. You were an absolute one-off.

I have great memories of the great banter I had with John while at Eastbourne DGH......we would often start our conversations about football banter and often forget the 'work side' of things ha ha A great guy, always had time for him and vice versa, he had a huge heart and bigger personality to go with it-I will always have fond memories of him, RIP John, one of the genuinely good guys πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜ž

Dearest John. I am truly so, so sad at your passing. Over the years we have known each other, you were always there for me, be it a tough day on the wards, or just a friendly natter.
You were such a support for me when I lost my darling daughter and again when I lost my beloved husband.
I will miss our hugs and chats over coffee and cake at our monthly Never Alone get together!
Thank you John for all your love and friendship, I will never forget such a kind and compassionate gentleman.
Sleep tight my dear friend, you will be sorely missed.
Radish sends you a big sloppy lick and a massive woof!
Much love to you and all your family. Xxx

John was such a lovely man, always with a smile on his face - even when he had to have the boot on his foot he still made light of the situation.
I actually met John, as he was a regular at my work and every Saturday without fail we had a chat about his home life, his lovely wife, his children, and his grandchildren. He was so proud of them. Always asked about my children too.

Rest in peace John :)

What a lovely man and padre. I was a nurse at the DGH for many years and John was always there in difficult times with his quiet caring and compassionate nature. Many people have lots of happy memories of him and he will be remembered
With kindness and respect. God bless John.
