So sorry to hear of his passing, he was a lifetime family friend and will always hold such a fond place in my heart! Uniquely cultured and always a gifted storyteller. I have fond memories of watching 90s lowbrow comedies with John and my father. Mr. Gately also did such a great James Mason impression! Cheers to you John, you are missed!
