I worked with John in Chelmsford at Digital and he was one of the best people I've known. We had more fun and more laughs with John when we worked there. He used to cook up large batches of food and bring it in for everyone. I had lost track of the old gang but still thought of them often. We all have very fond memories of John and I was very sad to hear that he passed away. I'm sure his family has wonderful memories of him.
