PRLog -- John was depressed most of his life beginning with his own dad 'Alfred Lennon' abandoning him and several years later his mother 'Julia Lennon' who is reportedly the one who filed divorce against Alfred, died tragically when John was 17 years old. She was hit by a car in 1958 while crossing 'Menlove Avenue' in Liverpool England - the area John grew up in. His dad who lived on the sea in a ship during World War II and for some time after the war ended, held many different jobs once he disembarked and became land bound again. He simply could not hold employment, mostly due to his contrary personality and drinking problem. Alf, which he preferred to be called did approach John later, after the Beatles had become the biggest sensation in rock history but John would not shake his hand and simply asked him "What do you want?" Over time John did begin to connect with his dad on friendlier terms and when Alf was dying of cancer at age 54, John visited him and sent large bouquets of flowers and cards to him.
