I have no photos of John at a meet, although I remember talking to him at the watermill meet this year.

So sad, first Ash now John

Picture taken this August at the NMA. Myself and Yvonne had a lovely pub meal with both John and Jean after the event. Lovely couple. John certainly new his cars and particular his Zeds. Quite open about his illness but possessed an infectious smile and will to win.

RIP John.

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
Very sorry to hear the bad news. I regret that I had never met him on my visits as I will never meet what seems to have been a very nice person. My condolences to his family. Frankie
