Brenda & Cindy, My sincere condolences for the loss of your Dad.
I knew John on the YORKSGEN (Genealogy) forum as well as on here, and his passion for LUFC, Yorkshire & sports was clear for all to see. He was very proud of his career as a sports broadcaster, and especially his Sports broadcaster of the year award. I think his only regret there was that he wasn't commentating on his beloved Leeds United. When reviewing my email of the day, John's was one of the first I would read as I knew there'd be something worth reading in it. I could tell from his Google+ profile that you and your children meant a lot to him; "Bragging rights - six marvelous grandkids & two wonderful daughters". He will be missed. RIP Grampa. With heartfelt regards, Andy Clayton. On 2 December 2013 18:57, JOHN SYKES <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > We are sorry to announce the passing of our father, John Sykes, on Nov. > 12th.
