Comment: I didn't know what Dad's story was going to be about but have listened in tears. I am one of John's daughters and I am so delighted to have been one of the organizers of a day that meant so much to both him and Mum. We wanted to repay them in a small way for all the love and support they have given myself and my sisters over the years. So thank you Dad, we gave you a day to remember, you have given me so much more.
