Likewise I’m very sorry to hear this news. John’s knowledge of and enthusiasm for astronomy really encouraged me when I first joined CAS.

Sorry to hear that news. The only time I met him was at the CAS 50th
anniversary in 2006, but did exchange a few emails with him in the past.
He was a very knowledgeable chap.

I am sorry to hear this news. I worked with John on the CAS committee for many years and regarded him as a friend. Since leaving CAS I occasionally saw John at RAS meetings until COVID changed things.  He will be missed by us all.
