Just catching up very late with the very sad loss to our community of this larger than life character. John was a real asset to our profession, always looking out for the guys on the front line. I flew with him on many occasions in the old cucaracha with one of the smaller operators and would brook no nonsense from the company! He taught a lot of us ,I suspect, the value of treating people honestly and with equanimity. My deepest sympathies go to his wife and two daughters. He will be sorely missed by me and many of us who were lucky enough to have known him.

A Tragic Loss
John was my PPL instructor way back in 1977 at King Air in Biggin Hill. I have lots of wonderful memories of the times we spent together. My deepest sympathy to Maddelaine and the family.
One of life's real charachters.
