These photos were taken in Canada around 20 years ago when we were guests of Alberta Distilleries (Canadian Gold).

This picture means a lot to me because I don't think I ever had another one of me with just John, even though he had so many celebrations!

John meeting King Michael of Romania. Cramele Halewood are the official suppliers to Romania’s Royal House for still and sparkling wines. King Michael of Romania, a cousin of Queen Elisabeth II, will be 90 years old next week; he is the only surviving head of state from the time of the second World War, and a much respected and loved figure in Romania and worldwide. His Majesty met John on several occasions.

Letter of condolence from HM King Michael of Romania

"John" First met you 40 year ago, when you first started in the trade for JB's.(I can tell a story or three!!) You lived at our home for 10 years until you moved to Leeds, Adel. Jean (my late wife)used to shout at you when you were late for dinner, your response always was just to laugh at her... They were great years.. You were a wonderful friend, during your success you never forgot me or the family. Such a shock... I will hold on to the memories and so glad I sore you and Judy only a few weeks ago. You had a big heart and a huge sense of humour, one of a kind, sadly always the best go first. Will miss you. May g-d keep you and rest in peace. I will truly miss you my best friend. My thoughts are with Judy, Adam, Mark and family" x

The Real King!

RIP Mr. Halewood!

Same trip in 78 before the football match v Gonzalez Byass team. John in front row with the tash and the sexy legs. He was a good player. I'm in the back row. PS the other picture John in the black shirt with the same tash. I am peeking over his shoulder. Great days, great laughs. Will never ever forget them.

This was on a visit to Jerez in Spain I had with John in September 78 when we both worked for Gonzalez Byass, the Sherry Shipper. Happy Days!!
