On a sadder note, we have just been informed by John Mackay’s daughter Iris, that he died on Father’s Day, 21st June 2015 at the age of 95. John was also a local Arctic Convoy veteran whose story we told in an earlier post (click here to see it and watch the video). John had also received the latest Russian medal shortly before he died.
