Claudia Florchinger

so sad to read this. My condolences to all his family and friends. I will never forget our surprise meeting in the departure lounge in Dublin, heading to Corfu....(I was on long term sick leave and so embarrassed, but need not have worried). Such a gentleman, we even surmised how Corfu could be a destination for service users as a holiday is so therapeutic

Paul Egan

With deepest shock and sadness, I learn of the passing of John. It was an honour to have worked with him in Cregg House over the many years. As a husband and father, he protrayed all that is good in people. His love of his garden was very evident when I met him recently. May he rest in peace.
