John, you came in to my life when I was very young and you took me on as your own. I can’t imagine how hard that would have been for you with losing Jamie not long before. It upsets me to say you were my step Dad as to me you just were my Dad, you helped me so much and gave me so many wonderful experiences that I know I wouldn’t have had. I’ll miss you terribly as we will all. Wren absolutely adored you and I know you did her. It was lovely for us all to see how your relationship with her was growing. Rest easy and hope that your reunited with Jamie x

You were such a support to me when I was growing up in everything that I participated in because of your competitive nature, chasing me on my cross country runs, to helping with the horse, your energy was sometimes exhausting I never new someone could have as much energy as that, so I thank you for all the child hood memories and the moments that we shared too many to mention, now you can finally be with Jamie again rest in peace now dad i will never forget you xx💙

Thinking of John's friends and family at this time
