We are all fighting with you John. Get strong and well soon. Loved our times down here in Cheshire and the ale houses we visited.

Thinking of you and I am sure we will hear good news shortly.

Stay strong big man.

Get well soon Sir.

Having suffered a heart attack, in March 2020, myself, the road to recovery is the next step. Take it easy and hope you return to good health asap.

Thumbs Up

He makes a mean chilli chutney!
I told him he could make a fortune bottling that.

UPDATE
John's son Shaun here again. A quick update:
Dad is still seriously ill at the moment and has not woken up since the surgery. He is still getting the best care possible, and when we know more, we will let people know. Thank you for all your kind words and support during this very difficult time.

I don't believe I have had any dealings with John but I would like to add my best wishes too. We are a great community and he is one of our own.

From a close family friend who posted this on facebook.

Hi folks. I received a message earlier today from Nanette, wife of John Holroyd and it's not great news.
Sadly he has not regained consciousness after his operation. On Monday they will decide what care he will receive but Nanette is, unsurprisingly, very concerned.
Let's continue to send positive thoughts to John and especially Nanette in this difficult time.
