Found memories of the time that I worked with John, we had many laughs, I remember the time when I first started working for you guys, Paul & I went to Fairy Meadow bowling club for a party and half the patients were there & I remember saying to John on the Monday morning I know now were you are getting all your patients from! Thinking of you in this very sad time
