Another bright light of humanity has gone out. May this amazing man RIP.
A magnificent statesman, and the United States thanks you so much for your help.
One of our true friends from the north.
Thank you John for your and your wife's heroics those many years ago. We shall not forget.
We Americans should all remember this man who risked his life for a group of American Diplomats. It was, sadly, a little known story here in the US. I remembered it and just want to say "thank you" to the family of that very brave man.
My deepest sympathies to the Sheardown family. John was not only an inspiration to his colleagues for his integrity and intelligence but also for his compassion and ingenuity. He has left a mark not only on the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade as well as Citizenship and Immigration Canada but throughout the country as to what it means to serve this country and her people. May you rest in peace, Sir, and thank you.
