I remember John’s
extraordinary generosity. When he saw that I had taken up Chinese painting, he
went to great trouble and expense to procure for me the materials – xuan paper,
brushes, ink stick and stone – even a chop. This chop cost him much in time and
effort. He always brought tobacco for me even though it was more expensive in Hong Kong . When he found himself with a spare kindle he
thought of me and sent it.
When John was here I found him
thoughtful and imaginative, able to point out aspects of any topic that had not
occurred to me. His moral courage was beyond question and his physical courage
served him well when the dreadful illness struck.
Well, he has found a safe refuge and peace at the last.
