Such a shame, a lovely man, always smiling, never a cross word.

 What a shock it is to hear of the passing of one of my dear old friends from my time with 4 RGJ back in the early eighties.

John was a very funny character and his cockney wit and manner would always put a smile on my face whe I needed a boost.

I didn't know John in 3 RGJ but I have many friends who did serve with him who concur with my thoughts.

Johnny will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of meeting him.

I Will try to make his funeral and join up with more of his old comrades.

We await details of the funeral.

Rest in Peace John.

 

The loss of Johnny is a great shock and my condolences go out to his family

a Green Jacket through and through and a good friend.

I remember the times we had in the old 3rd Johnnys Cockney spirit and humour.always had a

story to tell at reunions and Tommys Pub in East London.

Rest in Peace Johnny.

Mick Jackson ex 3rd.

yet another sad loss from the Green Machine. He always had a Cockney wit about Him and He certainly was one of the Original RB.

RIP JB and when you get up to that big muster make sure you have that MT in order as you always did when you were in 3 RGJ.

Condolences to His Family.

So very sad to hear the news about John. I will always remember John and the good  times and the laughs we had together during our 46 year friendship. We will miss you John, sleep well mate, see you later.

Our condolences to Denny and all of John's family

Geoff & Pam Morrish

Very shocked to hear of Bondy's death - he was such an active fella when I knew him at the Cedars. I can still see him beating blokes much younger than him (Steve Carolan and Worthy to name a few)

I bet he's already set up a Black Button Bar in heaven - selling manky lager and suspect pies to St Peter and co - calling everyone a c... and telling stories about the old RB's - and I bet it's packed every night!

 

RIP Bondy - I'll see you for a shandy before the century's out!
