My name is Andrew Thorlby, and I worked with John at Donaldsons. Like many people, I did not know that he suffered from Cystic Fibrosis, a terminal condition, as well as having a chronic asthma condition. John  died in December 2011, following a chronic asthma attack.

Having read an article in a local York newspaper (The Press, 6 January 2012) I contacted his father and asked if there was a charity that former colleagues of John could donate to, in memory of John. He asked for donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
