I knew John through his love of The Who, I was one of the organisers of the last two Who Conventions held in 2003 and 2006, John supplied the art that we used on the 2006 programme cover and also posters we had for sale.

John (the Artist) Davies. He came, He saw, He conquered! A man of true value, worth and humour. I will miss him.
During the week end at Chedworth we kept his box out ready for him. I felt the loss when I carried it back to the van not used. But his legacy will live on in us! May God bless you and keep you, especially in beer and fags!
Thanks

My name is Trevor Penn, or as John called me (and me him) Dear Boy!
I first met John at a Who convention at the Astoria on Charing Cross road several years ago, ever since that moment John was always the person I would 1st contact when anything regarding The Who came up, what a memory for information, what an amazing talented guy, what a wonderful friend, I only found out about his passing from a close friend of Johns, Paul Kelly a week after it happened, Paul had difficulty tracking me down as I have moved about three times since the new year. The shock of what he told me has shaken me to the core, I cant believe whats happened, I'm sure all who new him feel the same, I also believe like me that everyone has the same question...... Why John?
No doubt I will be meeting some of you at the funeral, I just wish it was John introducing us and under different circumstances.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
Rest soundly Dear Boy
I was saddened to read of John’s death. He was one of the “characters” of the reenactment scene; “characters” in the best sense. My memories are of a guy who would always make you welcome; the dirtiest set of nails to claw a fag and the pint we shared with John PJ and others of the Augusta at Ribchester last year. He will be a hard act to follow. This too following the death of that other veteran Douglas. I am sure that PJ Bernard Tim and Anthony join with me in saying a last sad Vale to John as he passes into the shades.
