John, Christine Jessica and Darren
I remember many chit chats with your dad in the subdivision over the years. He always made me laugh or smile. He loved working with you John, he probably worked on our cars too over the years. Thinking of the Dryden family.

Hello there Gayle & John
Jr. Our family is just learning of your Husband´s & Dad´s passing. We are saddened to hear the news. Although young when we lived in the hood I
remember him fondly.
Always genuinely kind
& friendly to all the kids and good for a chat. I can´t honestly remember how long our Enright Clan of 8 lived at 16 Leland but I have great memories of our time in the hood. A great place to grow up surrounded by family´s who cared.
Gayle your Husband & Johnnie your Dad was one of the Good Guy´s.
When we all get together
& talk about our young
lives your family is always
mentioned.
Blessings to you both & take comfort knowing that he is now with his friends & family and most importantly his two children that went before him & will be extremely
happy to have him home.
Many blessings & much
love to you both,
Bruce Enright

Gayle, I´m so very sorry for your loss. John was a very generous and thoughtful man to me and my son whenever we needed a repair to our vehicles he was there.
