Laura and I were devastated to hear this news. We enjoyed Val and John's company on several occasions and can't believe he has left us.

A kind and gentle man, Rest in Peace John.

Hadn't heard about Sherberts passing, so thanks for letting us know Chris.

RIP John and all those others who have gone on before him.

Listing will close on Sunday ready to be typed out ready for Church Service  at 16.00 on Sunday 2nd November 2014.

All of those names will be read out at our annual All Soul's Service to be held at Marston Moretaine Church, and a candle is lit for every man, and I also light another candle for the past years absentees.

REST IN PEACE to all those who have gone to our Father.

And sincere condolences to all their families.


Chris and Shirley.

Let's include the great Alvin Stardust. A man from my past. Sorry to see you go. And they have the cheek to continue the myth that you dont go from PCa

Chris,

 

I'm so glad to hear you and Shirley will be at John's funeral.

It's one I felt I must attend, but circumstances prevent me.

Please tell Val that everyone at B2PCa is with her in spirit. John was a much loved friend to us all.

 

George

I felt I must attend too, so have just booked a day off work and the train.

I thought I would publish the Prayer that was read out this afternoon after the candles had been lit:-

Lord God our Father, we thank you for those whom we
love and who have been taken from us.
We thank you for the joy we received while they were with us.
We thank you for the love which we shared with them.
We pray that nothing bin their lives will be lost;
that they may live on in our hearts, as they now live with you.
And we pray for ourselves in our loss.
Let us not dwell on what might have been.
Give us instead the courage to embrace each day all that now must be.

Amen.

They will be remembered, their names WILL live on in our memories, as you that are left will be remembering them too.

God Bless.
Chris.

Only found at earlier today from Elsie who sent me a message. I only met John a couple of times but we talked at length. A lovely, lovely guy who made an instant impact with his humour and courage. Last time we met, he said, "Funny thing is Dan, I feel perfectly OK". It's a very sad thing to see such a wonderful man go, but I will never forget him and wish Val and all the family my best wishes in this terrible time. I consider myself lucky to have known such an amazingly likeable person. John, I salute you my friend. x

I echo your sentiments entirely Dan, John was a really nice guy and I only wish I had been able to have been there today to have seen him off.

Bon voyage John.

Well Roger and Dan, Janet (Daykin), Elsie, Shirley and I were at John's send off. One 'funny' incident was that during the Funeral Director's speech a mobile went off and he said that it was John telling everyone to turn their phones off !!!
