I first meet John & Pat in 1980, when invited to their annual Boxing Day Party two weeks after moving into Church Square. For forty years I/We have been invited to this lovely annual Christmas Time get together and attended whenever possible. I have very happy memories of John (& Pat), Wednesday’s and Friday’s in various Belbroughton Inn’s, Saturday’s at various Village Halls and their house for Dinner. Also theatre and concert visits. I will remember John as a gentle man and a Gentleman, and surely one of the last who would always stand when a lady entered the room. I know that Pat, Clare and Tom will remember him with pride as a loving husband and father. Belbroughton will remember him as a long companion and someone who supported village life over the many years he lived there, and definitely left his mark. God bless you my friend.
