Our lovely neighbour John

Created by Shanice 4 years ago

We are so lucky to have had the pleasure of calling John our amazing neighbour - he was one of a kind and we feel honoured to be apart of so many memorys with him. We will miss him so very much and so will the little ones. 

when we first moved next door to John in 2017, he quickly introduced himself by knocking over for a brew, we couldnt believe just how lovely and happy he was full of stories for us. From that moment John became a huge part of our family life too and we often popped in to sit with John and if we hadnt, then he would come to us to ask how we all were too!! 

john became much loved by our two children especially our little boy Mylo who John would salute like a soldier to him. Mylos favourite thing to do was re arrange all his ornament dogs by the fire, John used to laugh and laugh! 

The most amazing times were spent listening to Johns war storys and his growing uo storys, we loved hearing all about Edna and how she was as a person - he spoke about his family and their memories throughout the years. Tommy and John became football besties and John would often knock over for the game (and ofcourse his brew and biscuits) 

I think my best memorie of John will always be him noticing the kids new swing and slide set being built and he came rushing over to sit with us in the garden.

we miss you so much John 

forever grateful we got to meet you and your amazing family.
we will always tell them of your stories so they never forget.. and we promise to always remember you and our good times. 

Goodnight God Bless x
