While at BGS, John won the Parry Gold Medal (1942), of which he was very proud. Because of wartime restrictions, the medal was made of bronze rather than of gold. He went on to become a nuclear science engineer on the staff of the Atomic Energy Authority at Winfrith in 1946 and lived in Dorchester.
At the time of his death, John had been married to his wife, Eileen, for 63 years.
