Wife Mary, Children, Helen, Jamie, Neil, Grandaughter,Grace, Grandson on the way.
A year has nearly passed without you and we are still missing you now as much as the terrible day
you were taken from us.You have shown us many signs your soul lives on and this we are thankful
for.
A beloved Husband, father, Grandfather, taken suddenly before his time aged 59 years. Married to
Mary 31 years with three children, Helen, jamie and Neil and one new grand daughter, Grace. An
amazing man, with a presence so strong it can never be replaced.A family man who loved it when all
were together . He loved to travel, keep fit, and help others whenever he could.
Words cannot describe how much he was loved and how much he will be missed.Whenever you were around
there was laughter and smiles, jokes and good times.On the 23rd July, we lost the head of our
family, the calm organised planner.The voice of reason. Who will film all the good times now?
Your work here was done- there was nothing left for you to achieve and fulfill and that must be why
you were taken from us.
Rest in peace, John, Dad, Grandad, Friend... and beloved 'Johnny Mac'. Life will not be the same
without you. The world lost a special man, heaven gained an angel.

A year has passed!
Today it is exactly a year that my husband John died at only 59. He collapsed and died at work .It was so sudden that it left us reeling. He was an active man who hardly drank and never smoked and went to the gym regularly. He just died of a cardiac arrest seconds after he had been boasting about his new granddaughter born exactly the week before practically to the hour. What a great granddad he would have been but this was not to be. I don't know why. Life is so unfair sometimes. He was my soulmate and best friend. As my brother-inlaw said like two sides tof the same coin. He was a charismatic man who always had time for everyone he met. Family was extremely important to him. He loved his family with a passion. However he was deprived of spending time with his new grandchild . Only God knows why? Now there is another one on the way and he wil not be here for this one too.He would have made a marvellous grandad.
John was Scottish. He came from Glasgow. And even though he lived down here in Southern England he never forgot his roots. He was a staunch Celtic fan. His name is on the memorial wall there. Oh he would have been so proud. He is buried with his Celtic shirt. Oh he would have loved that. I have a special affinity to Scotland and the people because of him and I will never lose that.John I miss you and I always will. You are a tremendous loss to our family. You were too good for this world and I will never forget you. Give me the strength John to carry on without you.
Keep showing the white feathers. Then I know you are with me.
Love You John.

On year on.
A year has passed since you left us John and in some ways the time has passed so quickly. We still cannot believe you left us so abruptly on that summers day . You never said good bye and for that we will always feel sad. Nevertheless your memory continues on and will always shine through We still feel you all around us. Be happy John and I am sure you are. God bless you now and always.
Love Pauline and Keith. xxx
Happy 60th Birthday.
I have just returned from a holiday in Gran Canaria. The first time I went abroad without you. Oh how I missed you there . It was tough especially on your birthday. We had a drink in your memory. Yesterday Neil and I had a game of mini golf. First I saw a white feather and then later on during the game Neil found another one in the hole. You were with us then. I am sure you were with us on the camel ride as I saw a white feather there. Ofcourse we had to have a boat ride. No holiday is complete without that is it John?
Hope you enjoyed your 60th Birthday and celebrated in heaven.
Love Mary xxxx
