May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Deepest condolences from the Amelottes....Mr Fyfe will forever be remembered in my heart as a great teacher, leader, promoter of higher education and one of the kindest people I had the pleasure of working with. God bless you John, you taught me so much and that family always comes first.

In loving memory of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather & friend. Gert, we have many fond memories of John throughout the years. Our condolences to you and all your family. May he Rest In Peace.

Sincere condolences to Gert and family on the passing of John.

Wonderful memories of a very special person. My thoughts and prayers are with the Fyfes.

Much of what we knew about John came from our relationship with Gert over the last 32 years. We know how much he will be missed. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Reading of Johns death brings back memories of living on 6th Street many years ago next to the Fyfe and Meek families. John was older than the rest of us baby boomers, but I remember him as a presence in the neighbourhood and seeing him play ball at the Athletic Park. My condolences to his family. Tom Rodger
