We are both so sad at hearing of John’s death. We enjoyed hearing about his cruises and his love of trains. He was always a loving cousin who cared about his family. We will miss him. We always had so much fun at the family reunions with John, Diana and Fiona.

Although I did not know John well, I found him very likeable and a little bit of a joker.
I will miss his phone calls with his little stories.
My deepest regrets to the family.

Our deepest condolences to Diana, Fiona, and John's family. John was a kind and caring man, and a gentleman. We came to know John a wee bit over the last couple of years and enjoyed his company on several occasions. We will miss him, and think of him often.
