Just remembering our friend John.

Moved onand trottingthat great swim in the sky, one year ago today.

Morespiders · Mar 23, 2008

Do you think he's had out yet?.

Bob "chubber"Lancaster (ACA) · Mar 23, 2008

gone yes, forgotten NO a very dear and well loved man.

Warren 'Hatrick' (Wol) Gaunt · Mar 23, 2008

Probably laughing his socks off at some of the threads, could of done with his input.

I'll have a toast to him later whilst spending the afternoon in the kitchen cooking for all and sundry.

Ian Cloke · Mar 23, 2008

Time flies, I didn't think it was thatlong since John departed from us. He would have had some comments to say on some of the threads Wol....

Morespiders · Mar 23, 2008

Most likley fell off his basket when he seen that picture of you Wol!.

Peter Jacobs · Mar 23, 2008

I'll raise a glass or two tonight with dinner, and then again with a brandy afterwards.

A great angler who is sorely missed here on FM.

Deanos · Mar 23, 2008

Thank you for putting the post up Fred, and Wol for the picture.

Gone somewhere else, but not forgotten.

Baz (Angel of the North) · Mar 23, 2008

I still talk about John. One of the best.

Neil Maidment · Mar 23, 2008

Nicely done Fred.

Only metJohn the once, well twice if you count the pub afterwards, and he had quite an impact!

I always looked forward to his contributions to the site and this forum.

Claudia Crowther · Mar 23, 2008

I never had the honour to meet John but I'm sure he would have ripped me to bits with my sad attempt to trot a float. 'NOOOOOOOOOOO girl, that's completely wrong, listen, watch and learn'....I could imagine him saying lol.

I bet he had a PB roach up there by now.

Bryan Baron 2 · Mar 23, 2008

Sadly missed but as been said not forgotten. Will also raise a glass tonight.

A more helpfull and pleasant angler you could not meet.

Neneman Nick · Mar 23, 2008

You don`t realise how quickly time goes by....only communicated with him via e-mail and he kindly sent me some music cd`s once.

Unfortunately myself and yoggy never got to take him up on his offer of some grayling fishing up north.

A really nice chap who is greatly missed.

Jeff Spiller · Mar 23, 2008

Not forgotten, just doesn't seem like that long ago, I'll be tipping a glass for him.

Peter Bishop · Mar 23, 2008

Wow, the year has passed so quickly. Miss the old Sods E mails- we did share a good moan or two....RIP.

Gav Barbus · Mar 23, 2008

Never met the fella but seemed like the salt of the earth from his postings ,thats enough for me.Hows tricks Jeff .

Steve Spiller · Mar 23, 2008

A truely top bloke, he always said it how it was and he didn't like bull$hitters.

Like so many I never met him, but we shared many e-mails together.

Never forgotten, RIP John.

Merv Harrison · Mar 23, 2008

A true gentleman, we exchanged a few emails, non fishing related, because of his love of the 'Blades', and we had a couple of mutual acquainances.

And agree with all that's been said, he could be an arguementative 'old bugg#r' but you knew where you stood and he did'nt mince words, and the angling world was his friend.

TTC · Mar 23, 2008

He's probably showing Ivan how to trot a stick.

Geoff Cowen · Mar 24, 2008

Sadly missed but not forgotten. Such a nice man.
