John Latter, surely one of the most interesting, well informed, forward looking and intelligent residents of Newcastle Emlyn in recent decades.

In the 1990's John fought for the rights of parents and children against a hostile and powerful local authority. At the turn of the Millennium John was selling antiques on the Internet when others were still coming to terms with email.
In the 2010's, despite his deteriorating health, John continued to exercise his encyclopedic knowledge and love of antiques.

John was stubborn, opinionated, and exquisitely offensive to those self-important enough to be offended. Newcastle Emlyn will be a less interesting place for his passing.
