Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere. I always liked hearing him on GQT.

I'm sorry to hear this. He was knowledgeable and amusing, I loved the way he managed to talk with a twinkle in his eye. RIP.

He'll definitely be missed in this household.
He was always good for a laugh, but at the same time informative.

He seemed such a lovely man and always made me laugh on GQT. They said on Last Word that he was 65, which is no age. RIP John.

I read about this in the Daily Mail. I was rather shocked and very saddened by it. I too always enjoyed listening to John on GQT - I am a regular listener, but aways found the editions when John was on more entertaining somehow. I suppose it was his 'dry' sense of humor and way of talking about plants and gardening that often made me smile (and occasionally laugh out loud).. I will certainly miss him for that alone. :'(
I can also remember seeing John presenting the short lived Irish version of Beechgrove, called 'The Greenmount Garden'.
The report in the Daily Mail said John was 66. Just 2 years older than my Dad. Not a happy thought.

The Daily Telegraph gardening section had a half page article by John about his New Year resolutions. It was very poignant reading of plans he'd made that will never be fulfilled.
