    I wish to express my deepest sympathy to Mary and the entire family. John’s cheery face and sense of humour will be greatly missed at Elmwood. He was always there with words of praise and encouragement. In the last few years, despite all that befell him, he remained positive and happy – an inspiration to all. John loved Elmwood and I’m sure he will always be in his pew near the back on the aisle every Sunday from now on.
    With affection,
    Alistair
