Indeed sad news. Gerry and I have fond memories of John especially when he did the alternative Karrimor meet we organised. He seemed surprised at how much beer Andy could drink – I’d brought in a barrel of beer at the overnight – our garden!
He was a great proof reader for me in my first stint as Journal editor.
Oh no. So sorry to hear this sad news.
I remember the Karrimor and the keg of beer!
John was always great company on the hill, our conversations a delight. Love to all the Llewellyn’s ❤️❤️
Sorry to hear the sad news. John was a very supportive member of the Club for as long as I can remember. I recall a pleasant day at Wallowbarrow Crag when the sun was shining and he was wondering if Andy was ever going to take to the climbing as he followed up a route.
This was a man be proud you knew him and if you were is friend feel very privileged .
Very sorry to hear about John, always such a gentleman. We last saw him pre-Covid when he kindly delivered the book about Taffy to our home and we insisted he stayed for lunch. Many happy memories. My wife was particularly fond of John as he made a point of remembering the name of members wives at the dinner when he was President.
John’s friendly welcoming smile at indoor meets will be sorely missed.
He taught me the benefits of good manners on the morning of the 2010 Dinner. As we started up the Crib Goch start to the PyG track, with Carole Smithies, – he demonstrated that by standing aside to allow faster parties to proceed & descending groups to pass, we could enjoy the views, & catch our breath. Truly a wonderful gentleman.
Very sad news, John was lovely man . He offered support on my meet in 2014 ,met us at three locations on the Lleyn then ferried us back to Buedy on Bank Holiday Monday , the weather was awful ,roads flooded etc ! John just smiled and said he was glad to be of assistance . A true Gent !
