You would've enjoyed his crack mate, I'm raising a pint of his favourite, Thatchers Gold, to him after a day of graft.... Cheers Johnnyboy..

Qbgrey 4,086 Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 I've been on here for years,not met many people,spoke to a few,keep myself to myself, as I find it quite strange to make friends online,but if any funds are going to be generated I'm of course in on that. Lost a few close mates recently,not good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liP 700 Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Not been on these boards for a while, thanks to Dave for letting me know this sad news . Johnny was the 1st fella I met at the very 1st fishing comp , introducing me to all the lads and making me feel most welcome! Over the years going to the comps he brought his young family with him and I have to say they are a credit to him. John was a very funny lad and without his good humour and quick wit I don't think the comps would of made half the amounts in the raffles. It was a pleasure to have known him as it is all the lads I've met on here. God bless you John R.I.P 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
