John was a lovely man who contributed to many zoom sessions over the years. I met up with him in some unexpected places. He and I shared many a conversation about genealogy and he was always happy to share his knowledge. John had collected many different monologues, verses and poetry, some well known, some not so well known which soon became favourites. He did a great service in bringing these to a wider audience. Oh John, I shall miss you. Rest in peace after a life well lived.
