The pages of Dedications to John were handed over to Anne and Tom (Johns wife and Son) ...They were very pleased with what people wrote about John.

The service commenced with "Take the "A" Train" (Duke Ellington)

"Afterglow" was read out:

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.
Of happy times, and laughing times, and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun
of happy memories that I leave,when life is done....

Paul Fowler read out a moving tribute.

Diana Krall sang "Just the way you are"

After the Lords Prayer Lynda Hammond read out "He is Gone" which
described John exactly..............

The service ended with the well-known piece of music "Bring me Sunshine" (Morecambe and Wise)
