John McKeown (16 Jul 1949 - 31 Oct 2021)

Remembering John. RIP

Where do I start , a truly great man who I had the pleasure of working with for nearly 15 years and a great friend for more then 30 .we had some laughs along the way ,some great memories to last forever .his love for fish finger sandwiches after a night out how after a couple of Guinness I dont know .... john you were a big inspiration to me and I will miss you dearly RIP lol and it was you who told me to chat that girl up at the bar who 22 years later is still my wife.

in memory of Johnny Mc

Having worked with John since the late 90's, i could vouch for the fact that he could pull any building down and drive every machine, faultlessly.
He was one of the few men i met never to loose his temper, the rolled up fag hanging off his lip, the smile on his face always got me through and the obvious chats about motorbikes.
He will be missed !

What a character John was I had the privilege to have John driving the 470 at Oxted gas holder with me on my 1st project for Jfh and John's presence it went as smooth as silk,we used to chat about motorbikes and he certainly knew what he was talking about.RIP JOHN I certainly won't forget you mate rest easy.

Very lucky to have had the privilege to work with John in my short time at JFH, great operator a great teller of old tales and just a great all round character. He will be greatly missed, but he will forever be remembered for always smiling, his witty responses and as being one of the legendary all time greats this industry has had the privilege of his presence.

So for now John RIP buddy and hopefully we will meet again one day " All being well" as you would say :)

Sending our thoughts to all of John's family and friends at this time.
From all the team at ellenor.
