MessageJohn was a lovely man,teacher,mentor and friend which I know is something we all felt.

Despite the fact that the funeral was the sad day that we knew it would be, it was also a great day. old faces were seen and friendships re-kindled.

John taught us and showed us how to make the most out of everything and that every situation in life holds something we can use if we really want to. John would have loved to see all those people meeting again and telling tales, bridges being built and creative minds working together again.......as well as a lot of beer!! (I know my head didn't stop hurting until late tues) So lets make the most out of the situation, carry on all that emotion we felt and found within us. I know so many of us stood there with all the memories in our heads wanting to move on and grow again in the way John showed us to. Well lets all stop thinking about it and actually reach out and grab those goals that have always seemed just out of reach, he would want us all to push on and shine.

I recently returned to Hitchin after being seriously ill for some time.I stood in the coopers arms feeling lost,fed up and hurt.There in front of me was john un-doubtedly in a very bad condition.......but was he fed up or sulking? no he looked at me and said "Austin"....."The boy stood on the burning deck eating scaulding scallops.He dropped them down his trouser front and burnt his hairy.....ankles!" I think that says it all.

Take care everyone smilie

Message...Exits and Entrances.

I just wanted to say I am so thankful I could attend John’s funeral yesterday a memorable day for a very memorable man.

John never failed to lighten a room or leave it full of laughter. His last exit truly provided all with admiration, humour and probably for the first time in his life immense sadness.

My deepest sympathy to John’s family and close friends at this time. Many students only knew john as ‘the comical genius’ he was and we forget he was a husband, a parent a granddad and a son.

John would not expect me to write anything soppy – he’d say find the humour Sue, write what you know about and Sue, don’t throw away the punch line!

John there is no punch line. You were a truly remarkable man that I had every pleasure in knowing. You inspired me to write and if you remember my very first ‘men are chocolates’ piece, you are definitely my ‘After Eight’; intelligent, sophisticated, little bit small, but now...
...one is never enough.

As you always said to me,

….Leave them wanting more….

You certainly did John.
With love and admiration,

Sue Howlett

MessageJohn's funeral on Monday was one of the most moving experiences I have yet encountered. As expected, the church was so rightly bursting at the seams by those wishing to pay tribute to a brilliant empathetic man who wanted nothing more than to share his knowledge with others, and make us better people (as well as performers!).
It was good to meet up with people, some of whom I have not seen for nearly sixteen years, although I wish it may have been under happier circumstances.
I will always hold close the memories of a man who gave a chance to a teenage tear-away, and turned me into a much better person in just three years.
As I teach 16- 18 years olds in colleges, I only hope I can pass on even just a fraction of what John Gardiner taught me when I was at HTS back in the early days.

MessageA wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. Those who spoke of John at his funeral on the 23rd July can explain better than I ever could how privileged we all are for having known him.
He gave me the chance to train at HTS, of which I always be grateful, no matter where my life takes me.
He helped me see things through open eyes and enlightened mind, his generosity overwhelmed me and I owe an amazing Edinburgh Festival 2004 to him - he warned me off those drunken scotsmen, and instead did a proud Lady Capulet performance and soaked up the experience (with a very small dose of whisky of course), as only John could have hoped!!
Bless you John - and Thank you.
xx
