John E passed away last week. He often sent me pieces to put on the blog, and left comments, and encouragement.

Rob emailed me suggesting a tribute to John on the blog. Other people knew John much better but Rob said when prompted “The things I associate with John are his devotion to his family – his wife, children & grand-children; his religious faith and his work for St Michael’s Church; his pride in his Welsh Heritage; his love of music and his singing with the Wantage Male Voice Choir & a music-group for people living in his neighbourhood; his beloved allotment; his enthusiasm for travel; and his determination to have a go at everything that life has to offer, even over the last dozen years when he has had to dodge cancer’s bullets.”

The last piece John E did for the blog was on New Years day 2014. The Boundary Walk had been cancelled because of the floods. Here is what he sent …

The Christian Aid Walk happened this morning despite the Weather. Here they are at Drayton Church Hall for a soggy break. If this doesn’t deserve a sponsorship I don’t know what does!
