Re- Post

John Godbold a member of the 9th Mobi intake in July 1960 and I knew him as one one the Senior Apprentices when I joined. Never served with him after Nirimba but I remember him as as a big man with a big heart. Passed far too early.

Vale John our thoughts are with you and your family. Rest your oars your job is done, may you have fair winds and following seas.
