Jeannette,
We only met John at the Clinic at FAHC in the very recent past but were looking for him every time we would have to be there. John was an inspiration with his positive attitude and sense of humor. On our last visit, June 1st, he was still very hopeful and would give hope to others at the clinic.
We will keep you and yours in our thoughts as you go through the jouney of putting John to rest and knowing that he is in a GOOD place.
We are the Boucher's from Highgate Center and we wish you well.
Sincerely, Gilbert & Gemma

John was blessed with such a loving family and a beautiful place to live. He was a joy to be around and we won't forget his cheerfulness...the world would be a better place if we had more kind souls like John. You are all in our prayers, Jim and Jennifer Anair

John always kept everyone around him laughing and will most definately be missed. Seeing him last June brought back the good times of years past. I will keep you and the family in my prayers during this difficult time.

My thoughts are with your family. John will be greatly missed. From the time I can remember I recall John being part of the family farm. He has been my neighbor for my entire life and we will miss him, his waving with a smile when he was on his nightly drive, his visits, his stories, and he could cheer you up even when your cows got out. He was a neighbor and a family friend.
My condolences to your family.
