I'm very sorry to hear of my first cousin, by marriage, leaving us. We were very close to the family since the 1940s. Many trips were made to canada and we had many visits together. My husband's name was also John and the two were great friends. I will call you Mary as soon as possible, but at the moment I cannot find your phone number. You may contact my grandson through the given email who will pass me all messages until such time that I can contact you.

I am so sorry to hear about John's death. He was so much a part of my family's childhood memories. And was so much like dad.

My mother is away and we can't find your phone number. Please call Aimee if you can.

Uncle John was a kind-hearted, generous man who loved life and the people in his life. He was always ready for a discussion, loved giving his opinion and loved to party. We had many parties on Runnymede where we ate, drank and laughed.

Uncle John was the master of ceremonies at our wedding and what a great job! His sense of fun, his love of family made for a wonderful experience and happy memories for Stuart and me.

We'll miss you Uncle John. Say hi to the family up there. I'm sure you're enjoying yourself and looking down on us trying to tell us not to be sad because you are happy, healthy and having the party of your life.

Will always think of you.

Deepest sympathy from the Kaffine family. Mr. Kudlak was a wonderful man. Generous and welcoming. "Happy Hello" truly embodied the man. When I think of how tough it must have been on him to lose two of his children, he still managed to find happiness and welcome people in his home or cottage. I'm glad I had the chance to know him.

I will miss John's smiling face & occasional visits to Consolidated with his lovely wife Mary. He was a kind person who took the time to say hello to his friends & business associates. His days are pain free now. God Bless You John. With fond memories, Carolle Henry (Consolidated Salvage Co. Ltd.)

My father is now gone to a better place where there is no pain, no suffering and will see those that have loved him.

His mother, my brother Bill, my sister Janice, are only a few to mention, and all are loved in all the best ways.

Remember John Kudlak as he was and that would be to make your day just a little better, and in any way possible.

God Bless All of You that knew him in any way.
