8/14/2014 We just now received the news of John's passing from Brenda Neary. We were shocked and saddened to hear it. Our prayers are with all of you at this time, for the strength to carry on after this huge loss. God bless you all. kevin's parents - Bill and Joan Hoyle

Dear Diane and family:
We heard late of John's passing. We are sorry to hear the news, and express our condolences.

I will remember John for his warm smile and laugh, great sense of humor and his penchant for story telling which many of us were treated to following one of his many vacations. In his later years, he was more active, vital and fun loving as those half his age. I was fortunate to have known him and will not forget him.

To John's Family, so sorry to hear of John's passing. It's been many years since I've seen John. We were classmates in Hope Valley and rode the school bus together. I grew up in Canonchet.

Jeff, Sean and Ryan,

Our very heart felt toughts and prayers are with the Gilman family. I am warmed by learning of his adventurous spirit, service and wonderful accomplishments. We are losing many wonderful dads, whom have given more than most us ever will. Much love David and Joanna.
