Hello lads.

Thats tragic news…i used to frequently exchange e mails with Johnnie…
My sincere condolences to Brenda and family…may he RIP…
Like Mappo I was in regular touch with him, I’d been trying to get him on Skype for a couple of weeks, thought he was just on holiday…lovely man to talk to, had many a long chat with him…one of the old school. I will miss him…another good old boy gone…R.I.P…
My sincere condolences to the family, a great loss.
Haven’t met Johnnie in the flesh, but we got to know each other via TK and FB where he shared some info and stories about his time with Pickfords…
Another TNUK character has left us, sad news indeed ! I am sorry to hear the news as Johnnie was a great craic! My condolences to his family Kind Regards Dennis Smith.
