I am forever grateful for the way John took the time to correspond with me when I was struggling with my faith as a teenager, full of unanswerable questions with seemingly no one to talk to. Though we were some 56 years apart in age, and had never actually spoken to each other before (!), he took it all in his stride with great patience (as his son Mark later did also - a pivotal moment in my life that I've never properly acknowledged). Looking back, it was an extraordinary act of grace on God's part to bring such an unlikely thing about. I am so blessed to have met John, and the family that he has had such a wonderful influence upon.
