John Williams

John Williams joined Devin General in the mid seventies and worked as a driver for many years on Paignton locals. Then, when Paignton Bus Station became an out station with more than 15 buses a night being parked there each night, he took the job as cleaner and fueller, a job he did very effectively.

Sadly on Monday evening John, who was in his mid fifties, suffered a massive heart attack and died.

He had his own style of working and was fairly out spoken in his views, mostly he was cheerful but occasionally cantankerous and was well liked by his colleagues and will be missed by all.

Dave, that is very sad news, John was a good bloke, that accent always made you smile and he was one of the genuine people on the buses, please do pass on my thoughts at this time if that is possible, many thanks James.
