2. My deepest sympathy goes out to all John's family as l knew him quite well as my brother John Johnstone ( now dec ) started his apprenticeship as a Pastry chef with John & David many years ago now .
   That was when they had the chitticks shop in Liebig Street, they were both extremly good bosses to work for .
   They had once of the best shops for pies and cakes as it was very popular shop . Rest peacefully now John .
