Really sad news RIP Jonzy and condolences to his family

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Does anyone know if Jonzy used to work at Wolverhampton council?

Yes. the old Town Clerks, then Legal and Admin Services - John Worthington his real name. Was there when I started in 81 and still there when I left and he retired a few years back.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Very sad news. Wolves and cricket - an excellent combination of loves. Condolences to his family and friends.

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Well, that’s a massive shock. Condolences to all his family and friends.

He will be missed.

I only found out this terrible news at about 7am today when his wife Jaime sent me a text that I had to read twice as I could not believe what I read at first.

About 4 years ago we started to talk on the phone after he sent me a personal message. We became mates and he would phone me often and we would have a discussions on numerous subjects. If the Russians or Chinese bugged the call they would have thought " What a pair of moaning old gits we have here ! "

I met him and Jaime about 18 months ago when they were on holiday in Devon. Of course John wore a Wolves home top so I knew who he was as it was our first and now sadly only meeting.

Really sorry to hear this. I've known John and his brother Andrew since we were young lads living in Bradmore in the sixties. Condolences to all of his family.

Only just seen this, so so sad, he only posted sunday, it's funny how you feel you know someone even though you have never met them , presume it was very sudden RIP Jonzy xxxx

A sane, knowledgeable and gentle voice on Molmix. I got to know him quite well on here as we had a friend in common (who had played for Wolves) who I knew via work and he knew from schooldays/childhood. As NW says it was if I knew him personally. Very, very sad.

 

[Abbobrom]

Shocked. It has all been said.
RIP

 

[HICKO]

Just seen this very sad news.
He will be sorely missed on the Mix, condolences to his family who must be devastated.
God Bless Jonzy RIP.

 

[Sketchead]

Awful news. RIP Jonzy.

 

[Teddy Ruxpin]

Whilst I didn't know him personally he was an informative poster and someone who's posts I tended to read. Having read through this thread and the comments from those that knew him he sounded like a thoroughly nice chap to boot, sorry to hear of his passing

RIP Jonzy

 

[TheStalePolice]

Sad news indeed

 

[marrs-guitar]

What a shock to visit the forum and see this come out of the blue, I'm sure I only just read a comment of his post-West Ham. Such a regular feature of this place and a real Molineux Mix legend.
RIP Jonzy and condolences to his family.

 

[Golden Arrow]

I'm deeply shocked to hear such sad news as another fine Wolf departs before their time.
I enjoyed his posts and general contribution to the Mix.
He will be deeply missed by us all and i send my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends at what must be a most difficult and trying time.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

What a shock, always seemed a sensible and very knowledgeable guy RIP.

 

[bigbluewolf]

What a huge shock. Jonzy54 will really be missed on here. He was always really insightful when it came to refereeing matters.

Sincere condolences to all his family and friends.

 

[Premier Quality]

That’s awful, such a lovely guy

RIP Jonzy

 

[Fan in Vogelsang]

Sad News! RIP Jonzy!

 

[welshy]

I remember the days where he would share plenty of snippets before the news actually broke, a true Molmix poster.

RIP

RIP Jonzy

 

[Gromit]

Wow. An absolute shocker.
RIP Jonzy

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Blimey! Very sorry and quite shocked to hear this. I think the '54' was the year of his birth, so he can't have been much more than 69. I'll miss his insider contributions on refereeing.

 

[Don Corleone]

Awful news, RIP Jonzy.
Always looked for his pre match Ref threads.
Sincerest condolences to his friends and family.

 

[MickHolmesFanClub]

Really sad news.

I got to know Wortho back in my football playing days when he was a referee. Always came across as a lovely bloke.

Thinking of his family at this very sad time.

 

[S G Wolves]

Really sad news, was a mainstay of this forum.

My father also passed away last month. Also a massive Wolves fan. Came to this country in 62 and fell in love with Wolves.

Just really sad. RIP to all our Wolves lot up there x

Yes. the old Town Clerks, then Legal and Admin Services - John Worthington his real name. Was there when I started in 81 and still there when I left and he retired a few years back.

That's a shame, turns out I used to work with him for a couple of years in the early 2000s

Really nice guy
