Big John was a major influence on my whole life. I am sure I would never have became an art teacher if it hadn't been for John Crawford. Superb teacher of art and good fun - especially on the wonderful trips to the bridge of Orchy! Davey Hill and myself often speak about these amazing times whenever we meet up for a beer. He was a man with integrity and a great sense of humour. Alan Wilson.
