We were John & Hesters neighbors in Domett Street for a few years & appreciated the association. Great neighbors . Condolences to Hester & family.
Our cat spent time over the fence at the Harris house. I remember hearing John rattling a bag of cat biscuits ( fairly regularly) which explained the attraction. John was great, spent hours in the garden. We were sorry to see Hester and John go.
Very sorry to read of John's passing.
