 Dear All,

It is with the deepest sympathy that I have learned that John Gregory, who was taking part in activities in the sea at the Boot Camp, got into difficulties and tragically drowned.

I know you will all join with me in expressing our  condolences to his family.

John was a nice bloke and a valued member of the carpet cleaning fraternity

This is simply awful tragic news.

We only saw John last month at CCDO and was his usual bubbly self.

My thoughts go out to his family and to all the guys that were there and must have felt so helpless.

It puts into perspective all the irritating, petty squabbles that go on here at times.

What terrible news.

I met John at the CCDO, looked around his van and had a good chat to him.

Smashing bloke, seemed really pleasant.

My deepest sympathy to all of his friends and family,

Best regards

Same here

I met john once and have spoken to him many times on the phone.

Myself and roger only lived a short distance from him and were always on hand for giving advice and help to each other...

Totally shattered by this tragic news.
John has been to my place 4 or 5 times in recent months and we spoke on the phone at least once a week, sharing our problems, discussing how we can cope thro the quieter times, but always having a good laugh.
He will be missed by us all, but more so by his family to whom my thoughts are with.
