    My name is jonathan wills, I live in devon, england. In a small village called bradworthy. I am 24 years of age. John currie is my biological father. Yet I have never met him. Him and my mother parted when I was around about 16 months old. This news article has out standed me…I have searched for the last 10 years for my father. I heard that he had a heart attack a few years back and I honestly thought I’d never ever see or hear from, ever! in the last 2 weeks I have found out that he is still alive and living in belize. Him and my uncle ‘brian hardwick’ worked for johnson construction in the late 80’s to mid 90’s…I think, he told me that he heard john was living on the island, so tonight for the first time I click ‘john currie’ belize into google and this news article flashes up. I am in complete shock…who ever gets this message, please write about it, if john is still living in belize, tell him, his 25 year old son has been forever searching, praying that he’d find him. I am a sales executive working for peugeot motors uk. I have a beautiful fianc’e and am planning a wedding…I would love to make contact with my father, I have old pictures of him holding me as a baby, and that’s it!!! I don’t care what money he has left, I just want to speak to him…or write to him. This is my last chance…from what I understand, john approaching his 70’s. Please find it in your hearts to reply back to this message. John has never once attempted to get in contact with me…never once acknowledged me as his son. This is something that would change my life…forever! Kind regards – jonathan wills. vtecfreek1@gmail.com
