For almost half a century, far removed from Devon, I was privileged to receive long and insightful bi-annual letters from John. Their acerbic take on transient fashions provided a rare balance to much of what now passes as socially important. Such letters can be written no more; the pen which once sparkled with intelligence and wit, now silent. John should also be remembered as a skilled craftsman; a loss perhaps most keenly felt by those lucky few able fully to appreciate his ability. In an indulgent age, obsessed with social-media and shallow self-promotion, the truly skilled remain quietly humble; true to their calling. Condolences to family, and to those local friends and colleagues who knew John on a day-to-day basis far better than I in his later life.
