We can hardly believe that our dear friend John has passed away. I first met John in 1971 ( 53 years ago) when we arrived at our college accommodation in Castleton. Later we shared a flat in Rochdale. John has been a very dear friend since then to myself Maggie and family. He was best man at our wedding in 1977 and I was best man at John and Bernadette’s wedding. John is godfather to one of our daughters. We also supported each other throughout our professional careers. We offer our sincere condolences and prayers to Bernadette and all family members at this time 🙏🏼

John was a wonderful man with the children and staff at St Anselm’s at the heart of his working life. I knew him as a fellow headteacher in ‘the valley’, he brought a great deal of sense and forward thinking to meetings. I send my best wishes to his family and friends in the loss of a great man.
