I am thinking of you all at this difficult time. RIP.
Thinking of you all at this time. I worked with John for over 20 years in the Guinness world and I always found him to be a Kind and decent man, always there for you. John interviewed me for my 1st job in Guinness. He also interviewed my wife future wife Barbara, though neither of us knew it, so I owe him much. He was a good man, good mentor, friend & colleague. He will be greatly missed by all.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
