We send you much love and strength during this time. Uncle John certainly was full of life and laughs. At each family meal, he made sure to capture the memories with many pictures and he never failed to share them with all of us. He will be missed.

You will be sadly missed John ! I knew you since I was 10 years old & you were 14yrs old & as a teenager you teased me a lot until you finished KOLOLO SECONDARY SCHOOL !! LOL

John & I were in the same HIGH SCHOOL in Kampala & though he was 2 years ahead of me he always looked out for me , making sure I was safe.
I have wonderful memories of our life in Uganda & Canada. I ALWAYS BUGGED HIM TO STOP SMOKING & he would say "Just because you are a nurse you are trying to give me your 2 cents worth". Then we would have a good laugh.
He always looked dapper & was very popular because he was personable & admirable
He will be missed for the jokes & laughs we both shared for over 60 years!!
REST IN PEACE MY FIEND
I will miss you
