I remember John with fondness, from my time with the Wandering Minstrels. He was a long-time member of the men's chorus and such a reliable stalwart of the society. We recognised his contribution by making him a life member although, sadly, the group was disbanded only a year or so after. We always enjoyed our visits to St Richard's, to do a show for the members of the congregation and their friends, and were royally looked after by John and Arlene.
Until he retires, I always looked out for John when I visited Barfield's and was delighted if able to have a chat with him. Such a gentleman.
