Details of John's funeral arrangements have been put on his Facebook page.
"The funeral service for John Rowe will be held at Barham Crematorium, CT4 6QU on Fri 8th September, 2pm. We will then gather in Blean (details TBC) to celebrate John's life together. We would be very grateful if you can confirm with his daughter Julie your attendance at the funeral and/or the gathering in Blean so that we can organise the catering: jrsnoring@gmail.com.

Just received a letter from Ros advising of Johns passing....Gutted!!
John and I first met in 1970 as boys in Cosfords 217 Craft Apprentice Entry. Our paths later crossed in the 1980's
when John joined Frankie Kerr, Jimmy Orr and myself to look after the MCS Bay at Leuchars. After demob
John and I joined up for the final time when as Manufacturing Team leaders we ran the Manufacturing production
lines for Motorola (Cellular) in Bathgate. In 2021 the facility folded and John and family decided it was the
right time to "move nearer home".
The big man leaves many fond and treasured memories for us all... such a massive character personalty and friend.
Jean and I would like to send our sincere condolences to Ros, Julie and family at this difficult time.
