John Spinks 1956-2002

Message from Canada
Ron & Yvonne Rackley

Johnny was my nephew, with his big eyes and mop of curls he was always such a clown, and we all loved him

I know that even now he will be playing tricks on the angels, and God will look the other way because he knows that's Johnny,

When we came to Canada in 1972, my son Dean and Johnny would write to one another, but there was never any news or what they were doing, it was all crazy, we always knew when Dean had a letter from Johnny, by the laughing coming from his room, and then he would write back the same funny way.

When I used to try to take a photo of him he would always pull a face and I would get mad at him, but he still did it so I gave up in the end.

I wish he had come to see Canada, we miss him and always will, he gave so much joy to his Mum and Dad and sisters. They were so very proud of him and always will be, we will remember Johnny with love always for the good person he was.
