So sorry for your loss Michael & Wendy.
I will forever remember the stories Uncle a John use to tell when I stayed over or when we were away camping.
I´m so pleased I got to speak with him in November when I was over. Will miss him as I know Dad will.

Dear Uncle John, Im saddened by the news of your passing. Golly didnt we have a lot of laughs when I was younger. We went to horseracing and won a few dollars...Then you and I went to watch the movie Hunt for the Red October, that was the best movie I had even seen. Then on a Saturday I would drive to the shop in Alicetown to make you a cup of tea and I would end up helping serve as it got really busy.. I will cherish these and other memories... Rest in peace Uncle John Love Irene Asher
