So sorry to hear this sad news.
Many people will agree that John was a one off, no question.
A lovely sense of humour that carried him successfully through many a tricky deal, with both sides leaving with a smile!
20 years ago, John helped us with such a deal. It allowed us to move on.
What a man! Thank you once again.
Wishing John’s family many fond memories.
