John was my Brother - in - Law for a few years. I remember being at Sanctuary Cove with John back in 1991 when things were not that great and he said he went there for inspiration because he knew the lifestyle he wanted to live again. Well, as they say "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" and John did just that and acheived his wish. Our family's thoughts are with all his family on this very sad occasion. He was a lovely man.
