I will miss John's dry sense of humour and political banter. I always looked forward to seeing him as I drove up Jennifer and Dave's driveway. Thank you for all the laughs, John. Rest in peace. Fly with the angels.

We were sorry to hear about John. Over the years the four of us have had so much fun, whether getting together for a round of golf, a couple of cold beer or sharing a nice meal, usually in the same day. Ruth loves golf, John liked golf but loved golfing with Ruth. People have more talent than John golfing but nobody had more fun.

Dear Ruth, Kim, Jaqueline & Family. We are so saddened and shocked to hear of John´s passing. The last time we saw John was when he and Kim stayed with us while Kim was first starting out with her journalism in Castlegar. John´s larger than life personality had us all constantly laughing. The best part was watching Kim roll her eyes at all of her Dad´s "dumb" jokes. Such awesome and fun memories. Thinking of you all so much. Love, Joni, Darin and Family
