I had the pleasure of working with John in the
Hamilton General OR in the 70's early 80's, I have so many wonderful memories. He always had a smile on his face and it was always a pleasure to be in his presence. A couple years ago I met Dave and recognizing the last name asked if he was a relative and yes, John was his Dad. It was lovely to be able to know how John was after nearly 40 years of not seeing him. I had thought of him often, even remembered what street he lived on. When Dave asked his Dad if he remembered me he told Dave that I had made his Wedding cake when he and Marlene got married.
RIP John, my deepest condolences to your family.

First off, my sincere condolences to Marlene and the family. John was a wonderful man, I am so glad I have a lot of good memories, he was the only man that could "brail" me due to his vision impairment. This had made me laugh more than once. R.I.P. John , hoping you have met up with the rest of the gang up there. Another angel to watch over us. I loved you John , a great brother in law.
