My deepest to sympathy Anne and his family .
Will always give him a thought on the Idle

 

[Neil Maidment]

A very sad day.

I met John just once, but it was a highlight and a privilege to have done so. Forthright, outspoken, generous and humble, he was quite a man.

My deepest sympathy to his wife (they were are fine couple) and his family.

[Emmo (Angling Trust)]

Very sad news RIP John

Goodbye John, FM shall be a sadder place without you.

We never met, but John helped me with valuable advice as he did many others on the site through the power of email. A ?tough as boots? battling old warrior.

My love, respects and condolences to Johns family.

 

[Peter Bishop]

Just logged on , a real shock. John told me privately he expected it to be sooner rather than later, but very sad yet merciful it should be so quick.

We never met unfortunatly but I nevertheless felt I knew him via public forum and our private E mail exchanges.
My deepest condolences to Anne and Steven. May he rest in peace. God bless.
FM will be the poorer indeed for his absense.

 

[David Craine]

I can never understand how a forum where most persons never meet can generate such positive feelings for each other, this is another very sad case where a person whom I have never met,but I feel I knew a little,due to this forum, has passed away,without me having had the privelege of meeting him . RIP John, and my condolences to his family and friends.

It seems strange not having John around, death of one of lifes certainties, but we never get used to it, I`ve lost so many friends over the years, more as the years move forward, I`m sure we will all meet up again some time, I can`t believe this is all there is?

 

[Scott Whatmore]

My sincere condolences to all his friends and especially to his family.

A true character that will be sadly missed.

I'll toast my next fish to his memory.

RIP John

 

[The Monk]

maybe we could have an FM memorial gettogether for all lost friends, we could call it the John Ledger memorial fish-in?

 

[Graham Marsden (ACA)]

We will definitely be arranging a memorial fish-in for John, probably on the Idle which he loved so much and where he organised an excellent fish-in before Christmas. Seems hard to believe we were all catching fish and getting sozzled together such a short while ago.

 

[Ron 'The Hat' Clay (ACA)]

That's a very good idea Graham.

Memorial fish in say November.

 

[Neneman Nick]

I never met john but conversed with him via e-mail on a few occasions.He kindly sent me some cd`s,albums he highly reccomended...for a man of his age,he had a wide and varied intrest in music.
Whenever i play those albums,i shall think of john and what a shame it is that i will never get to meet him and thank him in person.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to johns family at this difficult time.
from,
nick,jackie and children.
