Thoughts
We got to know John as our neighbour. He was always cheerful and upbeat, and showed a genuine interest in us and our family. - children, grandchildren, dogs, etc! This cheerfulness and positivity persisted even when he was clearly unwell. It was a privilege getting to know him.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
Candles
This comes with all my love and prayers for John's repose and Doreen and all of John's friends and family. Training for the priesthood with John was a joy as we grew together towards our vocation. I'll always remember his indefatigable cheeriness, his care and attention to detail, and his recommendations for tea rooms and coffee shops across the country! John, may you rest in peace, and rise in glory x
