John was my best friend growing up together in West Horndon. He came into my mind recently and i tapped his name on my computer and found this site. I am shocked and saddened! We had great times together especially going sea fishing with his dad. I was always made welcome round his house--they were like a second family to me. John was a jack-the-lad and great company. Rest in peace John and hope we meet again in the future. Cheers!
