You will be missed.
Thank you for being you...
Rest now
He was always thinking of others and very encouraging when we faced challenges. I'll miss talking to him. I'll always remember 'babysitting' him at the farm. One early photo of him was on a bright sunny day and he was dressed in his cowboy outfit, including a hat with holster and guns.
Goodbye John.
You were always this big warm teddy bear of a man. We all loved you and will miss you.

Dear Erika, Jeff and Braeden , Mary and Harold
So sorry to think of your loss. As you know , I had the privilege and opportunity to work with John for 16 years . It was a special time , working out of our Marmur Heights house where my late wife Marnie would look forward to having John join us for lunch ,share family stories ,family recopies ,favorite songs and of course keep up to date on Erika's dancing and studies as well as John's interest in our kids Sheila and Lyndon and what they were doing.
During that period when John and I were working out of our basement , there were a few weeks when the Concord was flying into and out of Pearson .When we heard it ,we would run up stairs and all three of us ,Marnie included , would be outside like kids to see it fading into the distance as we looked in a Northerly direction !!!
Ours was an interesting and successful relationship with warm meaningful
memories I will treasure.
Blessings
My Uncle John was the loudest one in the room, yet was always the one behind the camera making sure that everyone else was in the spotlight. I'll miss your voice singing happy birthday or asking about the boys, I'll miss your laugh, and I'll miss your stories. I'll miss you.
Erika, Jeff, and Braeden, I'm sending lots and lots of love at this difficult time.
Love,
Kathleen, Miguel, Etienne, and Xavier
