John E. Downes

By knowing your family I know you were a good family man because they are all great people!

Dear Mary Ann and the entire Downes extended family, I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I always enjoyed seeing you both during your meetings at my former employer, talking to John on the phone and working on your files. (I have to admit it was clients like you that made my decision to leave my former employer extremely difficult.) John always imparted me with some important words of wisdom about life, money, etc. at the end of our phone conversations. He was truly one special...

Mary Ann, we are sorry to hear of John´s passing. We enjoy the time we spent together with you both when you lived up here at the Reservoir. John was a wonderful man. Eileen & Ray Cusick

Dear Downes Family; We are very sorry to learn of John's passing. May all of the many loving memories you have of him be a blessing forever. Jeffrey and Robin Gebrian

John, Kim, Mrs Downes and the entire Downes family. So many memories to remind you of a life well lived. I had the opportunity to lead audit services to Downes Construction many years ago. While John had questions about the process, he was always respectful of our role, demonstrating an integrity not consistently seen in business circles. With heartfelt sympathies, Pierre & MaryEllen Guertin

Loved life

Mrs. Downes, Patrick and to the entire Downs family. I speak for your friends at the Sea View. We are saddened by your loss. John ( licence plate D ) will be missed.... In his cabana, in the snackbar, around the pool and on the Terrace. I fondly recall the few, fun rounds of golf and our handshake greeting " you got to buy a ticket."

Dear Mrs. Downes & family Very sorry to hear of Mr. Downes sudden passing. Stay strong & positive. May he rest in peace.no
