I remember John from my first tour on 210 at BKY. A really rumbustuous character and with a great companion in Jess. He was the first guy that I heard of who took his wife on det to Malta in 1966. Seeing Jess's reaction to the delights of Strait street was wonderful to behold.
I believe, from third hand, that he had suffered some hard losses in his latter years.
I don't often do this but in his case I'll say, RIP John.
