I worked at Facilities Management of the Macdonald campus in Ste Anne de Bellevue at the same time as John. John was a manager and was well respected among the employees (no small feat!). He was a kind, intelligent, and thoughtful person. My condolences to his family.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the Duckworth family. John you always been for me more then a friend. I have been knowing you for almost 30 years you are probably the reason why I'm now able to have a conversation in English and without you talking to me in English I would probably not be a flight attendant thanks to John, Clare, Kevin and the rest of the family for one day have giving me the chance to be part of that great family that you are and I hope that you keep good memories of the good moments we had together. Thank you John you've been a real special person for me almost like a father and I love you deeply.
