I was shocked to hear this sad news and send my condolences to Renee and to John's family.
I think I had known him for about thirty years, first in Liverpool then especially in recent years when I visited Renee and John in Pennsylvania a number of times. It was always a pleasure to spend time with John. He always seemed a gentle-man, in all senses of the words, and unflappable no matter what. The magnificent turnout for his 70th birthday party, at the Hard Day's Night Hotel in Liverpool, was a great testament to his popularity with a wide circle of friends. I shall miss him.
