Kelly, Sean, Jan and family I am so deeply sorry for your loss. John was not only a valued colleague, but a truly kind and genuine person His kindness, compassion, and generosity touched so many lives, including mine in a way I will never forget. The care he showed in helping to set up Natalie’s Wishes in memory of my daughter is something I will always hold close to my heart. (Head Elf) speaks to the depth of his character and the selflessness with which he lived his life. .it was a privilege to know and work alongside him. His passing is a profound loss, and he will be remembered with great respect and affection. Please know that my thoughts are with your family during this incredibly difficult time, and I hope you find comfort in the love and memories you shared with him. xx
