upholsterer
It is assumed that he was apprenticed at the age of 16 and probably, except for a break for National Service, worked as an upholsterer sometime for himself and sometimes for other people for most of his life. It is known that the quality of his work was very high and his services were much in demand. However, he was not a businessman and he did not have much success in running his own business. Towards the end of his life when he began to suffer from cancer he only worked occasionally.

Guest at marriage of Richard Mark William Ward and Amanda Jane Pears
Death:
1 Nov 2013 (age 71-72)
Dorothy House Hospice4
Cause: cancer
In the evening of 1 Nov 2013 Richard (Ward) phoned me (Jack Ward) to say that John (Binding) had died in Dorothy House Hospice of lung cancer with a secondary brain cancer. A few years before John has suffered from jaw cancer but this had been cured and I thought that after that episode he had given up smoking a pipe. However, Richard told me that he continued to smoke both a pipe and cigarettes. I knew from previous telephone calls that John was not well and had gone into hospital about 4 or 5 weeks before his death with a brain tumour which was affecting the right side of his body. Apparently he could no longer walk. As far as I know he did not receive any treatment but was discharged home to the lower ground floor flat where he and Joan (his wife and Jack's first wife) lived. Here Joan put him to bed on the sofa in their front room. He got steadily worse and about a week before his death he went back into hospital. Apparently he was desperate for a cigarette but was not allowed to smoke in hospital and the staff were too busy to take him outside in a wheelchair. The day before his death he was discharged to Dorothy House Hospice where he was allowed outside in a wheelchair to smoke. At this stage there was nothing that could be done for him so why not let him enjoy a cigarette? Apparently the brain tumour meant that he felt little if any pain.
In a subsequent telephope call made a few days later to tell me when the funeral would take place Richard said that in the Chapel of Rest his wife Joan had put a cigarette between his fingers!
