I have to report the sad news that Johno passed away yesterday at his home in Platonas. Our thoughts are with his widow Shirley. I know he hasn't been on the forum for quite a while, but many people will remember him and will have met him when out here on their holidays.

This was very sudden after his diagnosis and though he had bee ill a while came as a shock. He was always entertaining to talk with with all his stories of life in the submarines and merchant navy. RIP Johno.

I have been told that the funeral cortege will leave from Oscars for a service at the church in Sfakera at 6pm, followed by burial at the Sfakera/ Roda cemetery. He will be in the next plot to Steve. After the interment there will be a wake at Oscars.

A good turnout at the funeral on what was the hottest day of the year so far. At the graveside they played Amazing Grace by bagpipe solo from an Iphone.........it was very moving moment reducing many to shed a tear. The wake at Oscars was again well attended and we all had a Rum shot to toast Johno. May he RIP
