In Loving Memory of John,

It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to a dear friend. John's sudden departure has left a void that can never be filled, but his memory will forever remain etched in our hearts.
John was a beacon of warmth and kindness, always ready with a smile and a story to share. His love for adventure and zest for life were evident in every conversation we had, as he regaled us with tales of his travels and the wonderful people he met along the way.
One of John's greatest joys was spending time at the cottage, where he found solace in the tranquility of nature and the beauty of Muskoka lakes. His gentle spirit touched our lives when we visited the cottage, especially my daughter, whom he treated with tenderness and affection, and my son, whom he took on unforgettable boat rides across the serene waters.

As we navigate through this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with John's beloved mother, Sylvia, and his brother, Dave. May they find solace in the cherished memories they shared with him and the love that surrounded him throughout his life.

John, you will be deeply missed, but your legacy of love and laughter will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, dear friend.

With heartfelt condolences,

Tamara, Veronica and Alex

Always had good conversations with Johnny when I was up on Raven. Lots of mutual friends from Scarborough made for shared laughs. Appreciated that he was around and keeping an eye on Brian. We spoke many times about how much he missed him. Like the many that have gone before you, you will be missed. My deepest condolences Mrs B. and Dave

Sending my deepest condolences to Dave’s family. Growing up with John in the jungle was a time we all cherish. We made many fun memories. When I heard the news of his passing my heart felt like a heavy weight. After a little while of sadness and thinking of some memories we shared the heavy feeling of sadness was lifted. I will cherish the fun times we had . He was and will always be one of my jungle buddies. RIP John
