John Lewis (Louis)

It is with great sadness that I have been asked to inform the passing of John Lewis, after a short but brave fight. For the last few weeks John has received a great amount of care from the Bolton Hospice.

His loving wife, Heather and children, Paul & Jo have received a great deal of comfort from the many messages & cards from Johns many friends around the world.

John had the respect of many from his patronage of venues such as Blackpool Mecca, the Casino & Stafford.

John worked for the entertainment company Mecca, eventually managing venues including Manchester Tiffs and later Tiffany's in Wigan and was pivotal in the All-Nighters continuing there, after the demise of the casino.

John had a wicked sense of humour to the very end and he was also the first friend many of us would ring when in the need of advice or help.

After leaving Mecca, John pursued a long career in youth work, something he was passionate about and a subject we often discussed at length, whilst travelling to and from All-Nighters on many occasions.

It was clear, John and Heather were enjoying retirement together and until very recently he had played golf regularly.

As with many others on this site and elsewhere, I feel extremely priviliged to call Louis a friend & will miss him deeply.

 

John's Funeral takes place on Friday 18th November 2016  - 1.45pm

At Howe Bridge Crematorium, Lovers Lane, Atherton, M46 OPZ

Followed by Drinks,Buffet & Music at Westhoughton Cricket Club, Cappadocia Way, Westhoughton, BL5 2FB which is 10 mins from the crematorium. All are welcome to celebrate his life and share in his memory.

Very sad news a real  character and yeah a wicked sense of humour RIP Louis
