Dear friends, family, John passed away very early Thursday morning. He was very peaceful- no pain or discomfort, no complaints, no resentment, no regrets. I think in his last days he became reconciled to everything. For a man who had no time for any religion, he was ironically somewhat spiritual, and he made his peace with the world.
Thank you all for your messages of friendship and love. Remember some good times you had with him, some inappropriate jokes, some silliness, some irreverence, some dark comedy moments, fits of laughter, cricket matches, country walks and birdsong and good pubs and seeing the light move over the hills and being in wonder of everything, of the natural beauty of this world...
We will hold a wake for him [date TBC]. He had no time for funerals. We will hold a wake, to have a few drinks, to celebrate his life, the good times we had, tell stories and reminisce, and mourn the passing of one of this world's true iconoclasts. Please look through your old files and photos, for any pics, drawings, videos or anecdotes.
John Morrison 1951-2024
