Condolence: I went hitching with friends around France no plans. We got on the ferry and who did I see but John! He had been on holiday to Spain. I will send you the photo I took on that day Love Karen ❤️

Condolence: I have so many memories of my lovely nephew John. So just one. When he was about 4 years old I was taking him to the barbers. On the way we found 7 shillings and sixpence in the road! Aloft of money in 1967. We found it on the way to the barbers and kept our enthusiasm until we got home! Whenever I saw John my heart would skip and I would smile inside and it would just spread. I miss him him so much. From auntie Karen xx

Condolence: Dear John my cousin. I've got lovely memories of you from when we were kids growing up. And later when I came to new York. You took us to the best bars ! You gave us the warmest welcome and it was lovely to meet Toi. My friend came with us one time and she always speaks so fondly of you. And Sian loved you too. John you are sadly missed by all your family here. Rest in peace. Love to Toi xxxx

Condolence: You were the first Scouser that I ever met. We all need to enjoy life while we still have it. RIP. -Max

Condolence: The last email I received from John. Only great memories... "Wed .10 pm pier 40. James could you E-Mail mark Sgam I deleted by mistake. Bring money." thank you

Condolence: Dear John. I pray you are resting in paradise 🙏🏻 I think we meet in the early 2000’s — maybe even the late 90’s when I used to frequent Nap’s parties. It was always nice to hear your warm Northern English accent. Mate - you were the chillest! Nothing bovvered you. You were always happy, always smiling. Always maintaining a calmness & radiated positive energy. We had a few laughs over footy⚽️ I’d try wind you up and say that Man City was the better team. You’d never take anything too serious. I never saw you angry or upset. You’d throw me a few cheeky football jokes. The love & pride you showed for your beautiful wife Toi was a joy to witness ❤️ Your union together was pure, untouchable & strong. I can hear you now calling Toi “Love”. It always made me chuckle because it always sounded like “luff”. Toi recently shared a warm but sad story about her receiving flowers from you — was a special delivery from the corner shop near where you lived in NY 🌸 Your passing has made an impact on me. I regret not staying in-touch with you guys. Over a decade has passed since I last saw you all. And then when I did finally reunite with your Toi, Nap & Paul — it was heartbreaking to hear that I just missed your light by about a month. I’m sorry John. Remember I was not too religious, but I have said prayers for your family & friends. Especially for your mum in Liverpool 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I hope we meet again mate. Cheers luff Clare

Condolence: I was devastated to hear the news of such a kind,caring soul taken way too soon. I know the unconditional love he had for Toi, Nap their family and his loving family back home in Liverpool. He always lite up when he spoke about them and his love for football. Thinking about him now just brought a smile to my face about a funny story he told me about Toi, the phone call he made to her making believe he was the judge after she had to report for jury duty. Hope that gave you a smile John above. He will be truly missed. R.I.P. dear John. Always in your hearts ❤️🙏🏻

Condolence: John had a sense of teaching and loved to teach not only soccer to the kids he also corrected my English when I had questions about some sentences in my massage textbook. John was a great instructor that was because he had a lot of patience, and calmness and shared things with people. John will be missed, but never forgotten. Aeh

Condolence: I’ve lots to be thankful for, for having John as a brother. It was 1986 when John left Liverpool for New York, so I was just 16, but I have lots of happy memories of the time that we shared together. When you look back and reflect, you can see some of the standout qualities that he possessed, and it makes you realize just what a special person he was. A few examples I would like to share are - Teaching me to play golf - I must have been around 6 at the time so John was around 15 / 16 years old, he was a good player even then. We were brought up next to the next golf course, so late in the evening we would wait until after the flags were brought in, so we didn’t have to pay and then sneak on. The golf clubs we used were so old with wooden shafts that they are antiques now! But it didn’t put us off. John used to take me onto the golf course and say “Right you concentrate on the ball, hit it, don’t look up and I will see where the ball goes” I never saw the ball in the air probably all summer! But they were wise words and it worked, and whenever anyone says “Who taught me to play golf” I always say with pride it was my brother John. To think he used to take out his annoying little brother and have the patience and calmness to teach me shows some of his qualities as a person. Darts on the Stairs – I used to pester him all the time for a game of darts. I was probably about 10 at the time, so he was around 19, going out with his mates, down to the pub, or watching football, he was living the good life. He would be chilling in the living room and I would be begging him to play! Which most of the time he did! The dartboard was set up on the stairs in the hall and off we would go. I was that bad for so long that there were hole marks in Mum's walls, and the wallpaper was not looking good as I kept missing the board and we had to keep trying to repair it before we got shouted at. But John never complained about how bad I was, he used to just beat me, then say “Keep practicing”. I did keep practicing, but then John made me do the scores so I think he was getting me to do maths while I was enjoying myself so I didn’t realize, which was clever! Again though another example of how much time he had for me. Playing Football – John was a bit of a hero of mine when it came to football. He signed for his beloved Liverpool FC as a Schoolboy and represented the county so he was very very good. He was never bigheaded about it and never boasted, but he would take the time out to play with me in the street. He would get me to do left foot back into his arms, then right foot in his arms and we would do it for ages – he had his cheeky side as well though! shouting over to Jeff to tease him that I was better than he was just to wind him up! He showed me lots of love, gave me time, treated everything with calmness and patience, and was a truly great brother! John was also a really good artist! John had the luxury of his own bedroom as he was the oldest, so he could do what he wanted. I remember one day going into his room and he had painted and cut out footprints and placed them on the ceiling and walls so it looked like someone with dirty shoes had been walking upside down on the ceiling! When you’re a young impressionable little brother it was very cool – just like him! Although I don’t think my Mum was too impressed!! I was always proud of John – whenever anyone's friends came over to New York on holiday I knew I could trust him to make them feel welcome. He would take them to watch the football match, have a few beers with them, and show them the places to go. I don’t think anything was ever too much trouble for him when it came to looking after others. Everyone always comes back singing his praises of how great he was! I don’t ever remember John shouting or getting angry, if he did it was never in front of me, which is a little bit too cool! He was always very calm and considerate. He was a really good guy who enjoyed himself, he had a twinkle in his eye and a cheeky smile, but he also showed compassion and respect for others and displayed great characteristics his whole life. This is a very sad, unexpected, heartbreaking day, and I know that we are all feeling the pain in our hearts! My love and prayers go to my Mum, Toi, Nap, Jeff all his nephews and nieces, and all of you who loved John. He will always be remembered by us all, and in the days, months, and years ahead I had you can take some time out to remember a good time you shared with John, and it will put a smile on your face, that’s what he liked to do, put a smile on your face! His love for Liverpool Football Club took him all over the world supporting them. The famous Liverpool FC's song is called “You will never Walk alone” and that applies to John “He will never Walk alone”, the memories we have mean that he will always be in our hearts wherever we are! I will remember and cherish all the time we had together, and all the help, love, and guidance he provided. I was very lucky to have a cool brother! All my love, thoughts, and prayers are with you all. Alun x

Condolence: John was a true gentleman, and one of the first people I met when I moved to New York back in the late 80's. We had some great times and I have great memories of time spent with together. You will be truly missed and remembered for you smile and sense of humour. Fly high John xxx
