Words at this difficult, impossible time do not come easy to me. Having lost the love of my life, but I will try to write how I feel.
The messages and calls (and there have been many) of condolences, love and offers of help has been overwhelming showing me the reality of how much John was loved and cared for and how he touched hearts and souls of everyone he came to know.
A decision has been made by me taking into account the heartsore and difficulties we have had to suffer/endure in the strange time we are living in - not to set a date for John's send off but and this is unconventional but then as mentioned it is strange times.

I will have a continuous slide show/music he loved in his honour every weekend from now on to celebrate the life of the most beautiful big man I will love forever who overwhelmed us all with his tremendous skills, wisdom and advice for those who needed it and listened if they wanted to.

So arrive here whenever you have the time as you feel in your heart for closure and goodbye. If you feel you would like to contribute to the slide show/or a video you are more than welcome to.

I will add it on for you and we have a drink together in his happy place

HI to all friends, family and bikers. A sad day for all of us with the passing on of John Boswell on the 2021/08/19 he will be missed by all of us and stay in our thoughts forever. I want to put forward a request by Charmaine that all queries that there may be in this sad time about Museum and bikes on display be put on hold till Tuesday next week. I can promise all will carry on as always for time been, all motorcycles and any other items will still be looked after and kept save. Please respect this time and request. Condolences and best wishes will be excepted via phone calls. Museum will be open to all from Saturday the 21st of August as always. Thanks for understanding Respect and Regards to all Charl Venter
