John and I go back a long way to when we were teenagers going to Rossett Youth Club. As the years passed by I used to see John regularly when I was working for Wrexham Maelor Council and he used to come into the offices to see the Planning Department. Later I used to see him around Llangollen when he was practicing as part of his Architect’s business. Over recent years when he moved into a bungalow to be near Jane & Helen and the family, I used to call regularly as I walked our dog. During the pandemic I used to tap on his window and we’d have chats and put the World to rights. He was a great character and lovely gentleman and a good friend. I already and will miss our chats with tales and talk of MU and Wrexham AFC. Rest in peace John my friend.

Dear John’s family,
Janet and I are so saddened by having just learned of John’s passing.
As will have been the case for many, we had the good fortune of having our bungalow to house conversion designed by John. Similarly, my sister Helen, husband Craig and daughter Hannah (a source of amusement to John), had their cottage extension wonderfully conceived and designed by him too.
We all have fond memories of such a talented, congenial and kind man.

Nick and Janet Wainwright.
