John died at the age of 71, in a London hospital on the 8th March 2007.
According to his manager, Phil Dale, John had been ill for some time with hepatitis A.
John was best known for his catchphrase "I'm free!", as he played the role of camp
salesman Mr Humphries in seventies British comedy series 'Are You Being Served'.
John and his long-term partner of 35 years Ron Lynch, entered into a civil partnership in December
2005.
Still very sadly missed, seems like yesterday when I saw you for the last time on the Pier in Bournemouth in 2003.
Many happy memories since I first met you in 1978.
Hope you, Mollie and Wendy are keeping them laughing,
god bless video tape and DVD's so we can enjoy all the Fun.
THANKS so much
John & Ida

Remembering christmases past
Dear John
As pantomimes come round again
our thoughts are of the legendary dame
never forgotten the wondrous sights
whirling colours and flashing lights
eagerly waiting to hear [im free]
now just knowing it will not be
memories of you to great acclaim
christmas will never be the same
Love Joyce Melody Jack Larissa xxxx
john your birthday
we miss you in so many ways
we miss the things you used to say
and when old times we do recall
it's when we miss you most of all
with love joyce x
today the first anniversary
Softly the leaves of memories fall
gently we gather,teasure them all
some may forget you, now you have gone
we will remember,no matter how long.
with love Joyce Melody Jack Larissa xxxx
Three generations of fans
Panomime lights will be dimmer this year
The legendary dame is no longer here
Dancing and singing,costumes so bright
Shouting and laughter,of childrens delight
IM FREE'comes a echo,of muted sound
Oh how the memories swirl round and round
No the pantomine lights are not so clear
The curtain came down so sudden this year
Remembering those happy times
with love Joyce Melody Jack Larissa xxxx
