Today John is married to Debbie; they have a beautiful family of three sons and two daughters. As First Mate in the merchant navy, John, Debbie and children spend six weeks in Mozambique while he works off-shore nearby. Then they travel home to South Africa where they spend six weeks in their home in the Drakensberg.
John is an upright man who heads his family with discipline and love and leads them in the ways of God. The one characteristic which always stands out when you spend time in John's company, is his sincerity, loyalty and humility.
In the light of the last quality, I struggled to find a full-face photo of John and have displayed two of him doing his duty as a father.

You are spot on about John, yet maybe a little modest. I so enjoyed his company hiking in the Drakensberg. A Big Happy Birthday to John!
