Don’t know where to start. I first met JC through Blue over 20 something years ago. In the time I have known him, he has had a variety of careers and I was always felt he could and would, have had a go at anything…..and he did! On our holidays together no matter who he was with, he was always a real laugh be around either traveling, eating out or staying in and playing endless games of cards, scrabble to early hours consuming far too much cheap booze in a haze of thick smoke. I have very fond memories of those times, which I hope will never leave me. He always had the desire to be the greatest rock n roll singer/guitar player in the world and the belief that he was sometimes!! But he never took himself too seriously though. In the days of the Green Dragon I remember him strumming his guitar and looking every part the rock and roll star!! Intermittently there were the publican days, at various well known establishments around town! Not sure he was the best businessman in the world but he was certainly a great host. One constant was his pursuit of women and on that score he never gave up! He fell in and out of lust regularly! However with you Teresa, I must say, he had clearly met his match and found true happiness. He was very fortunate to have had you by his side and in particular, throughout this difficult year. I know that he always had a fear of growing old and even when he was coming up to only 40 he struggled to acknowledge that he had to grow up! So knowing what was happening to him must have been a very difficult burden to bear. Jamie, I know from when I first met JC he was so very proud of you, he never stopped talking about you, what you had achieved even at a young age and I know that as you grew up and forged your own successful path in life he was always so happy that you had ‘made it’. He never took any credit for the person you turned out to be but we all know that he is part of you and what you have become. JC has always been JC, regardless of any changes in his circumstances during the time I knew him, and that was what was so endearing. He has been there from my 20’s to my 40’s and when I turned 40 two years ago, he sent me an email and attached was a little song he had written and recorded for my birthday. It was a very funny and very touching and only JC could have done it in his inimitable style!! Happy memories of a lovely man greatly missed. Kate
