To John. My bestest bud. I'm going to miss you so much. Your sharp wit and sense of humour, as well as the grumpy, stubborn parts of you. So glad we have had some amazing adventures together. You gave me the courage to do things and go places I'd never have thought I was capable of. You were right when you said, you "were glad we did what we did when we were able to."I have some great memories to treasure which will make me smile when I think of them and you. It's not all been plain sailing but it's never been boring has it? So sad that the last few years have been so hard for you and me. So glad I was able to walk with you and be there for you until the end my love. Hope to see you "on the edge of heaven". Your ever loving wife and bud. Sheila

John also had a soft spot for the Salvation Army and the work they do for the marginalised of soceity, so donations to them would also be welcome if preferred.
The mountains were where he was happiest and most himself.
