I first met John several years Ago as Manager of William Hill's Bookmaker's. What A great Guy, John had time for everyone and we all thought the world of him in the Shop. As John's health started to detiorate we all went the extra mile Staff and Customers to help John.
Not because we had too, Not because we Felt Sorry for Him, But because he meant so much to us all.
The last time I saw John was Grand National Day. He said I had to make the effort for Grand National Simon.
We slowly walked to his Mobility Scooter and John sat down. John said I don't know when you'll see me again, it won't be for a while. It was at that moment my eyes swelled up, I never told John but I think he knew how much we all thought of him, all the staff and all our fantastic customers thought the world of John.
Goodbyes are never Easy but if there's horse racing in Heaven I hope you back a few winner's, because you where a winner as well Mate.
Love
Simon, Tony, Candice, Corinne and Marcus
