Ian & Su Dalziel
Although I knew Pat when she was a trainee nurse in the 1960s, Su and I did not really get to know John until fairly recently when we would meet up at the Swan Jazz Club in Chaddesley Corbett or on one of the ‘Old Farts’ excursions to a factory or motor museum, and of course, a pub lunch afterwards.
When John was showing the first signs of his illness, Su and I would meet up with Pat and John for an early Friday evening drink in the ‘Shoes. It was during these get-togethers that we learned about John’s interesting life and how knowledgeable he was.
We will miss John and hope that we can resume our Friday evening (and Jazz Club) sessions with Pat when things get back to normal.
Love to Pat, Clare and Tom.
RIP John, a true gentleman.
