Whilst not having seen John in many years, i owe my career in the north east as a land agent to him.
He employed me in his family firm in Haltwhistle straight from university where i worked from 1982 to 1989 before going to Hexham branch.
He was a lovely man who also welcomed to Featherstone Castle for a regular family Sunday lunch.
They were happy days.
I also enjoyed my time with the Cricket Club acting as secretary for several years and enjoying success with the 2nd XI, hence this donation.
