Hi Barry, Just picked up your e-mail about John passing away.
Sorry not been it touch lately, but invested in a Windows 10 computer that has been nothing but trouble since the day I got it.
So I am back on my old steam powered Windows XP system.
Very sad day with John leaving on his final voyage, It has come as a shock to learn that so suddenly.
Last weekend there was a big gathering over in Hull on Hessle road there is a monument to the lost trawlermen of the port.
Also there is a new sculpture been erected on the foreshore of Hessle to co-memorate the loss of the 3 Hull vessels, two went down in the North sea and we watched the Cleveland roll over and disapear before we hit the rocks
Tuesday the 6th of February 1.35 am The tme and date will never leave me.
WE will be over in Hull next week, I will take a photo of the sculpture for you.
Dont no what else to say, been a very sad day for me when I ready your e-mail.
Its possible that I am now the last of the crew from that fatefull trip.

All for now, Kind regards John
