John Richardson Claridge

Please know your beloved Tic Toc is being well cared for and enjoying life in her mid 30s. She is very loved and I tell her you still love her everyday. She is my horses pasture buddy! Loves her carrots and misses you!

Dear family and friends of John,
I have had the pleasure of knowing John for 35 years. All of those years John has supported the residents and staff of Brevillier Village. The first time we meet was when he was one of my family members at Ball Pavilion when I started as a Social Worker in 1980. He along with his sister Dorothea were so devoted to their parents Helen and Bert Claridge. John served as the President of the Brevillier Village Foundation for many years. I dare say that without...

John was a wonderful person and he will be truly missed at Tailwind. I still remembering him walking up to feed my horse a carrot, calling his name: Wiiiiilllbur, and laughing. My prayers are with Gay and the Claridge family during this difficult time. Those who had the opportunity to know John are blessed.

Dear Gay,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family on the loss of John.
I will remember him as such a gentleman, always so happy to be riding his partner Tic Toc at the Willows.

LIBBY AND FAMILY, IM VERY SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOUR DAD HAS PASSED AWAY. ALTHOUGH YOU HAD HIM FOR MANY YEARS,YOU ARE NEVER TRUELY PREPARED FOR THIS. MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU ALL AND YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

Gosh.. I am speechless. I share Don Beretta's sentiments. He was one of Dad's best friends. I re-read "Lost Erie" with the greatest admiration... now even more. Love from George and Tracy.

Dear Gay-

I have such wonderful memories of John from my "Hobby Horse" days. He was such an amazing man. Thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dear Geoff, Ian and families, I am so sorry to hear about John. He will truly be missed. Such a gentleman and industrious and caring individual. I will never forget John coming to the door with photos my father had lent to him for use with the Historical Society. His appreciation for all things historic especially relating to Erie, his adopted hometown. John's work will continue to live on. I had the pleasure of speaking with him several times at the Society. He gave us a lasting treasure....

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family, Gay.
