Not sure what to say?

Dear Susan, Earl, Judy and family,
Just read about your Dad/John and want you to know that we are thinking of you with heartfelt sympathy
Mark and Sherry McMurray

There was no finer man in the world than John. W. Burrows - husband of my sister, father of my nieces, brother-in-law, friend.

Today I would like us all to remember the greatness of John Burrows. John left with all of us crying for more of his humor, love and life experiences to share with all of us. Today as we remember John I hope we can strive to travel forward with even a fraction of the dignity, pride and love of life John had.

Here is a toast to you dear friend for being remembered as one of the most outstanding people to ever walk this earth!
We miss you!
Earl

My thoughts are with you all today as you fondly remember such an amazing man.

Dear Judy, Susan, Anne and Kelly (and families),
I have only learned of your loss as we grieve our own for my brother. Thank you, Judy, for being in touch. I have such wonderful memories of our time together in Montreal when I was a young child, and of the busy days in Penticton and Calgary. I loved you all as a second family. I hope you have found comfort in knowing how many cared for your husband and father.
Fondly,
Kimm Culkin

Dear Judy
It is with great saddeness that I want to express my sympathies in John's passing. I did not know this until Jim and I were looking into contacting all the Trustees for the Leitch Scholarship Fund. John was a great man. I truly enjoyed both of you and I know how much Merv respected John and your wonderful capabilities. My sincerest condolences. Ardine

Dear Judy and family,

My sincere apologies for the great tardiness of this, but I have only now heard this sad news. I remember with affection John's able handling of Dad's campaigns and in particular the VERY cold campaign of 1979 when Susan drove us around the hustings in the Lincoln I think to keep us warm! My sincere condolences to you all.

Sincerely,

Jim Leitch

We are so shocked and sorry to hear this sad news. Our prayers are with the family.

I am sorry to hear
