I am sorry to hear of John's death. The Pathlights staff had the frequent pleasure of working with John in his capacity as a Public Service Administrator. He was particularly helpful with the Emergency Senior Services and Community Care programs. We are grateful for his contribution. I am certain the staff would wish to join me in expressing our deepest sympathy and it is my sad duty to undertake this task on their behalf.
