We wish to offer our sympathy in the passing of John....we are saddened. Seeing his passing was a shock. You will not know who we are, but John was in our home many times as a child....he was a friend of our son. One of my memories of John was the night he, Rick Spooner and our son Christopher tried to spend the night in a tent in our backyard....they thought they were so brave. Needless to say, they lasted till late evening and packed it in. Why be outside when you can be in a warm bed John as a youngster, was quiet, kind, cute and rambunctious.....l often thought of him over the years, wondering were he was.....May God be with you at this sad time....Gary and BettyJune Cooper, Thunder Bay, Ontario.
