My first memory of meeting John was on your arrival, 50 years ago, to holiday at the Farm Yeo’s West Town. He knocked on the farmhouse door wearing a bowler hat, mackintosh and carrying an umbrella – A real city slicker I thought. A wife and 2 children then appeared, Judy, Sally and Bill just eighteen months old. It rained cats & dogs the whole fortnight. My mother, Doris Cloke said it doesn’t rain like this all the time in Devon, please come again.
Today we are remembering all the wonderful times (over a span of 50 years) your family and many friends spent holidaying on the farm. They were such special and full of fun and laughter, never a dull moment. Alan always loved it when you arrived.
Thanks to yourself and John, in latter years for the memorable holidays we spent with you, Scotland, Hereford and Derbyshire, not forgetting of course Tenterden on many occasions. The wonderful Christmas market weekends.
John will be remembered for his integrity & intellect, a man of great knowledge, mind of information and such a gentleman in every way.
We will have for ever very fond memories of you all in so many ways. Thank you. All our love Alan, Elizabeth, Lee and Andrea xxx
