From BBC Essex:-

It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of BBC Essex presenter, John Hayes, who has died at the age of 61.
John began presenting on BBC Essex in 1990 and during his time at the station made many friends both off and on-air.
He was for many years the commentator at the Southend Air Show and was big Essex cricket supporter.
For nearly 10 years he presented the music and memories Sunday show, John's Journey Back In Time.
