Farewell John Marshall....

I've just heard the tragic news that the Director of Tonbridge School Facilities, John Marshall, died suddenly over Christmas at a terribly young age. I knew John mainly through business having dealt with him for many years regarding the Tonbridge Book Fair held at the school. More recently though I've got to know him much better as both John and I sat on the Tonbridge Arts Festival Committee. I always found him to be very pleasant to deal with and he always managed to conduct affairs in a way which allowed the balance to be just right between being jovial and business like at the same time. He always came across as a happy chap which influenced those around him to be the same. He'll be sadly missed....
