Dear Chris and family
What a dear man John was! We have known Chris & John since the first days of their marriage and their move to Sidney, B.C. We square danced, did boating, fihing, and camping. We also did a lot of travelling together. John was such a wonderful and kind person and his hugs were really so special as you just knew he also enjoyed being hugged. John will never be forgotten by Ken & I and our family. Love you John and we will miss seeing your wonderful smile. Our most sincere condolences to Chris and family.
Love to you always, Ken & Arthurine

My condolences to Chris and the rest of the family at the loss of their great friend and loved one, John. I will miss the warmth of this truly gracious man. I always felt so welcome in his and Chris's home. As well, I will always reflect fondly on my several visits to his flower gardens. John truly made this world a better, more beautiful place. I consider him my friend and look forward to the years to come when we meet on the other side - and know he will greet me with a warm smile and firm and friendly handshake.

Sincerely,

Larry Leavitt
