I have just been informed that John Rowley (JR) passed away this afternoon. He had been suffering from bladder cancer but seemed to be on the mend. In October he had a stroke and it was discovered he had a brain tumour.

A few of us visited him at home last Wednesday and he was very poorly but this afternoon sadly he passed away.

A lot of you will remember JR as he was always attending the drives arranged on here.

RIP John my good friend

Thank you for letting us know @Phil.

JR was a thoroughly nice bloke with a real passion for Zeds and driving them, and met him many times on Zed events.

My condolences to his family. Rest in peace John.

What a shock. We met John and Jean on lots of the cruises we attended and had many chats with him. @Phil, please pass on our sincere condolences to Jean and the rest of the family.

What a shock. It has been my pleasure to meet and chat with John on many a Zed outing. He will surely be missed. A great guy.
RIP John

Just a thought! peoples, post your pictures of John Rowley on this thread. Perhaps his Family might visit this page and realise that we will all miss him and we have immortalised him in Pictures for all to see.

Such a shock, to hear this very sad news, we knew about his health but thought he was on the mend,
Last time we saw him at the mill meeting he was his usual happy and jolly self and living life to the full.
Me n Andrea will always remember him with great fondness, and he will always be my hero had many a laugh on our drives chasing each other.
Condolences to all his family,
R.I.P. John,
Maurice n Andrea
