I have known John for over 25 years as a supplier of cutting tools for his machine shop. I loved his sense of humor, we were always smiling when John visited us at MacKinnon Tool.
Will miss you John,

Rachael, I really enjoyed the memorial. I knew John for about 25 years. I work at Vancouver Bolt and John and Barney would come to see me almost every week to pick up any bolts or fasteners he needed for his shop jobs. In turn he would often do special machine jobs for us. We all loved John and his sidekick Barney. I am so relieved to know Barney is safe with you. It was wonderful hearing your story which shows what a caring person he was. He will be missed.
