Remembering John

Posy shared these pictures with me a while ago of Dad meeting her kittens.

I delayed but deeply felt thanks to all who attended (or wanted to) Dad’s memorial service.

Thanks to my mum for these images.

This was sent to me by a friend, but I don’t currently record where or when this was taken.

There’s no alt text yet.

We will be holding a celebration of John’s life is 16th of March at half past two at New Life Family Church in Margate.

We are currently planning a celebration of Dad’s life.

I believe this was one of dad’s earlier works.

I was sent some descriptions and explination with each of these photos.

This photo was sent in by one of John’s sisters, my Auntie Jennifer.

It was taken at Sci-fi By The Sea where dad and I went one Father’s Day.

No date for the funeral yet, so keep watching.

Dad often spoke about his friend and mentor Tom but it was not until I had to start going through his things that I witnessed the full flavour of the quirky relationship.

John had a rich inner life filled with sci-fi ideas that he enjoyed sketching.

Despite the multitude of art in his home, this is but a tiny fraction of the paintings he created in his life.

John often meditated on things by writing.

This is a sampling of John’s art.

Those who met my dad will recognise the very John humour with which he saw the world.

In his quest to perfect his art, dad studied the masters of impressionism.

Dad adopted a small mischievous kitten.
