C. John Small

With sincerest sympathy to the family of John Small - he will be remembered fondly. Ruth Morrison & daughters (Darlene & Stephanie)

I will always remember John's kind sense of humour and his wisdom about so many things. I especially remember fondly his response to "I'm fine thanks" when he was offering food or beverage to me as a guest: "I know you're fine but would you like to have some"... This was just but one indication of his wonderful generous spirit! My prayers are with his family and all of us who will miss his fine, true and faithful humanity.

On behalf of my sisters,Kit and Lesley, and mother Mary, I wish to extend our deepest sympathies to our cousins,Chris,Margaret,Cathy and Trish, and...

I would like to offer my condoleances to the family of Mr Small. I wrote him in 1995 about relations between Canada and China during my studies and he had the kindness to answer me.
