Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear about the loss of educator John Ford. An amazing person with a great personality and we had the same birthday: April 29, although I am a little younger than John was. John was an inspiration and it is sad that he left us too soon. People like John inspired me to pioneer the world's first plant based Cat - Dog Food Products over 30 years ago. EVOLUTION DIET. Thank you so much John: You are missed by those who know you!

I was very sorry to learn this news. John was my first principal when I started my teaching career at Forest Glen. He was kind, supportive and funny. I have often thought of him fondly through the years. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

Dear Peggy, and family, Chuck and I have just learned of the pasing of John. We are so sorry for your loss. How grateful we are to have seen you in Stratford during the last few years. Had a great visit in the middle of the antique shop. Always remember John's love of books especially when signed by the author. Also his love of teddy bears. A great man! He will be missed.

Dear Peggy, Scott, and girls, I just heard about John and wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. It is a very difficult time and wanted to give my condolences. And let you know I am thinking about your family. I am thankful to John for all his time and effort he put in at the Mississauga Canoe Club. Love Pat Pageau xo

Peggy, I will always remember John´s boisterous laugh, mischievous grin and big, generous, fun-loving heart. He made a difference in the education world because he taught and guided with his heart and his mind as one. I am proud to have known him in that role and as a friend. Wishing you and you family comfort in the days, weeks, months ahead.

John was a wonderful thoughtful man. Sending hugs condolences and prayers to his family. I was just thinking of his peanut butter soup the other day. So sad.

So sorry for the family´s loss. John was a great guy, with a warm, outgoing personality. He was a supportive principal, which was appreciated. I drove by the house last week and wondered how John was doing, so he remained in my thoughts. I am positive he will be missed by all who knew him.
