Alan & Jacqueline Scott
For me the photograph of John at the top of the memories page says it all – a happy man with a beer to hand.
I first met John when he moved to Rugby in the sixties into a shared rented house. He introduced me to the concept of “weekends over” parties on Monday evenings…… and maybe “Mondays over” parties on a Tuesday evenings…..any excuse to go to the pub for a pint!
I have fond memories of our Whitsun week holidays in the hils of Scotland, in Wester Ross and the Isle of Arran where we went for several years……….very thirsty work.
As I relocated to Northern Ireland in the late seventies we did not meet so often but still managed to keep in touch. John & Pat visited us at our holiday house in Girvan and we visited Bellbroughton several times. The last time we met was in Bristol at a lunch to celebrate John & Pat’s Ruby Wedding Anniversary.
I am pleased to have been able to talk to John on the phone a few weeks ago to see how he was faring under Covid conditions
Farewell good friend.
