A beautiful and generous man. I will always remember the Sunday afternoon’s that I spent with Papa and Mama along with Kathy and Reg and Lindsay. Watching The curling, the baseball, and of course 60 minutes. Also the many, many get together’s in the backyard of Kathy’s and Reg. I will miss you papa.

We are so sorry to hear about John, but so thankful we were able to celebrate his 90th birthday with him and all his family. It was definitely a high point for us and most enjoyable. Our sincerest condolences at this sad time for all of you, but we remember John for his great sense of humour, the fun we had camping together, and his Anita Bryant eye openers!

So sorry to hear of John's passing. Mom would always light up on visits from Ruby and John. I still have a very funny business card he gave us when we visited on their anniversary celebration. He shall be missed. Many fond memories.
