PATERSON

PATERSON - After a long illness bravely fought, in St. Dominic's Hospital, East London, South Africa on 26th January, 2020, John, formerly of Thurso and Wick. Son of the late Bill and Chris, former husband of Marlene (Steven), partner of Evette (Olivieri), dearest dad of Jolene, grandad of Ivy, brother of Anne, Maureen and Harry, a dear uncle and grand-uncle, loved by his extended family, and friend to many at home and abroad. Cremation in East London, RSA. Family flowers only please but donations, if desired, to Cancer Research UK or South Africa. 'When the wanderlust has left me and I grow too old to roam, Still the memory will linger of my lovely Highland home, Silvery streams and rumbling rivers, verdant vales and glorious glens, And the pride of Caledonia, heather hills and bracken bens.'
