John and Anne were beautiful souls. John reminded me of Sean Connery. As Santa John and Anne made the perfect Mrs Santa! I met them as a postwoman in Devonport when they ran their antique store. They were charismatic. That´s when John did his first advert that I noted, being the dricon concrete one. Many ads followed with Anne being in KFC ones, insurance etc and them both dancing in a Spark ad. They both had a sense of humour and I loved that John sent me jokes through messenger. Although I only visited John the once since Anne died, I made it clear that if he ever needed anything, I´d be there in a flash! My family will never forget Santa John and I will never forget the friendship that I was lucky to have.
