Hi,
I know this is late but I have only just found out this sad news about John.

I am assuming that this is the John that worked at Cooks Shipyard in Wivenhoe.
I was also an apprentice at the same time as John, and we shared a room with another fellow apprentice for a year up in Lowestoft.
I will always remember the extended monopoly sessions we all played that sometimes went on for days, as 16 year olds we had to find something to do !
John was a great lad, and although once we reached 20 years old I left Cooks having finished my apprenticeship, I never saw him again after that, however I will always remember he was always a cheerful and funny lad.
John will always be that person in my memory. I am now 66, it's just a shame that we never met again.
John Saunders RIP mate
