Jack Stanne shared this with me.
On behalf of my late parents Leon and Anne Stanne, I send condolences to the Bak family in the passing of John. What little I remember of him (and Tony) at my young age, he always seemed to be smiling.

Peter,
Our family is sending prayers for God’s peace to you and your family

Dear Marion and Family,
With John's passing we have all lost one of Amherst's finest citizens and friend.
For many years, John served the people of Amherst especially the youth, unselfishly.
My friendship with John goes back to the early 50s when I was participating in youth and high school athletics where I was blessed to have had John as a coach and a very fine high school basketball and baseball official. He was a class act.
May you find some comfort...

Growing up as a teenager in Crow Hill, I always looked up to Mr. Bak as a great role model. A self made man who was always kind, friendly and willing to help others.

My condolences to the entire Bak family for your loss.

To Marion, Sue, peter,Paul and Terry, I am sorry to hear of Joohn,s passing. Back in the late 60,s and early 70,s I have the privilege to work for John at Jeffery Flowers. He was not only a boss to a young crazy kid but a nice teacher and friend. He was a great man. Hard working honest and above all fair. They do not make men like John anymore. Always keep the memories alive of him. May he rest in peace.

So many fond memories of our Uncle John. We will love you always. Diane and Jeff Babson and Colleen Bak and Dennis and JoAnn Bak
