JOHN HORTON MCDERMID

I met John when he became a Resident of CHARTwell Montgomery Village. We became fiends, which was easy to do. He introduced a series of painting, that his Mother had painted. He offered them to some residents, which I was one of the recipients. We felt that we should offer something for the painting and it was suggested to donate to Headwaters Hospital, MRi fund.he was able to collect and donate $3,000 ! Much was donated by John. He was a very kind and generous friend, and he is missed, but...

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of John, a proud alumnus, generous donor and dedicated former board member of Albert College. John held a special place in the Albert College community. He gave his time, support and friendship freely, and his contributions made a lasting impact on the school and all who knew him. He was a kind and thoughtful man who remained connected to the College throughout his life. Before his passing, John shared with us a moving story about finding his...

Johns last year was spent at Orangeville Montgomery Village. I met him for the first time, when he donated beautiful paintings by his mother. I was the recipient of one, and we all donated money in His mother´s name to Headwaters Hospital for a new MRI. I believe we raised over $3000.00! John became a friend to quite a few of the residents including me. He was so interesting with all his stories of his life. I grew very fond of him as did many. John will be missed by all.

John was instrumental in our adoption process of our son from Hong Kong in 1984. We got to know him and Elaine ; he was always friendly and available . Even though he always knew I was not a conservative, he was willing to offer help.

I had the privilege of getting to know John at Montgomery Village in Orangeville over the last year and a half. I have several photos from Golfing,"I use the term loosely"and enjoying the Pub. John was a very special man. Fran Pendock

Doug and I worked many hours canvassing in Bramalea for John when he was running for office, and was invited to his home for social gatherings. Always willing to give a helping hand to his constituents. Rest in peace.

John was my cousin, and I have very fond memories of him throughout my life. He was always interesting, interested and kind. He will certainly be missed by our family.
