Only time and happy memories will ease the pain that no words can.
Rest easy John, I will miss our daily chats, giggles and your stubbornness that made us smile.

As kids and cousins we always had a great time at the Bentley’s. John was our big cous who always had patience with the 5 of us. He was a rock for aunty Hill and dearly loved brother to Clare.
Johnny was warm hearted and had a distinctive laugh.
May God have mercy on his soul.
Lots of love

JB, my dear friend of forty years. A beautiful man who lived his life with grace and honour. He loved passionately, whether it be his interests, beliefs, or the people that mattered most to him. The positive energy of his presence would light up any room, and I am privileged to have been his friend. Rest in peace JB. X
