Exchanged a few p.m's with John seemed a very knowledgeable and likeable guy R.I.P.

John was a true gentleman and a top angler, I always had a lot of time for John and happily he always had the time to speak with me.
John was always a voice of reason, he would always give a considered argument and would pull no punches, with John a spade was a spade, he could be relied upon to give a truthful answer – whether bitter or sweet!
I always admired that trait of John’s; it made him an interesting and delightful companion.
I will miss him very much and I will also miss his comments both on here and on our WBC site, Jackpiker or The Crane always made insightful comments that got me thinking, Johns opinion was always worth hearing on almost any subject!
John was one of the first anglers I met when I joined up with the WBC and like the rest I shall miss him very much.
If there is an afterlife, and I hope there is – John will be there showing them how to catch.
Tight Lines mate.

I'm very sorry to hear this sad news. John was a long standing, loyal member of the site, even to the end.
RIP Jackpiker.

Having met John just the once, on a BFW charity fish-in, i can only reiterate the comments of others. He was thoroughly nice bloke.
