John taught me to love golf. He was the first person I ever caddied for. He paid me a dollar. His son Chris was my best friend growing up. Every Friday the Fords would let me stay at their home. We played hockey in the basement. Best memories I had growing up.
Loved your father

As a neighbour of John’s at the Terrace, we spent most mornings conversing over the Record. I will truly miss this gentle kindly man. As “Waterlunatics” We spent lots of time reminiscing about our childhoods In this city . My sympathy to his whole family whom he cared for deeply.
