A very nice guy. I was fortunate to know him as a friend and teammate.
I’ll miss seeing him at the club.

Dear Mel,
I am sorry to learn of the passing of John. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I thank John for all the memories at BBCC, my one game playing rugby, skiing at the A-Frame in Collingwood, skiing in Aspen (and our time at Little Nell's with John and Ponton), and skiing in Ellicottville. John was a good friend for over 50 years. I'm sure he'll be missed by many. May flight of angels bring him to his final resting place.
