John has been a key member of the HLTC community for so long giving his time, expertise, support and companionship to so many. I have played Wirral League and social tennis with him for 30 years and its always been a pleasure. John was always a gentleman on court and such fun to be with. His bravery and determination to live a full life in recent years is to be admired. He leaves us with so many happy memories. We will miss him but never forget him.
