We were also greatly saddened to hear about John's death particularly in such sad circumstances. We looked forward to meeting him each year, along with Tom, during our Autumn visits. Sadly last year he did not make it in Autumn but he was in frequent email contact with us during his Spring visit extolling the virtues of his eating place, Medousa, where he will also be missed - occupying his reserved table. He was a lovely gentle guy. I particularly remember him not too long back when he looked after Tom's welfare when Tom had a prolonged stay in Rethymnon hospital. John's care and the kind actions of both locals and fellow tourists in his support was a strong indication of how well liked he was and how the Plakias community support such people. Tom and John were Plakias legends.
RIP John and wherever you are. may you enjoy lots of hot beaches, good food and canine company.
John and Gillian
