John was more than a colleague, he was a friend for twenty years and I will miss him greatly. He was also a near neighbour for many years as we both had houses in Normandy in adjacent villages. Some of my fondest memories of John are from our two families' times together there. John was proud of his Yorkshire roots and was a keen Sheffield Wednesday fan, so there was common ground there, we were both always moaning about our respective teams. He was a great broker, a great bloke and an ever greater friend. I think the warmth of John's embrace in a couple of the photos illustrate perfectly what friendship meant to John. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very sad time. RIP John.
