Marg:

My sincere condolences to you, Carrie & Mark on John's passing. You will all miss him very much. I often think of Sabine and you & John as well as Eileen & Gord (I saw where Gord passed away a while ago). It's been a long time (almost 30 yrs. since my Mom died and 25 this January since my Dad died), but I have fond memories of our many chats over the backyard fence during the time I lived with my Mom & Dad. All of you take care of each other. I'm glad you have Carrie & Mark and the Grandchildren. I'm now living in Port Credit and sharing an Apartment with my Step-Son who's had some health problems. We are fine. Take care.

Sincerely,

Beverley Anderson

Our deepest sympathies to Marg, Carrie and Mark. We've been extremely fortunate to have had John for a neighbour for over 30 years. We shall cherish the "Sabine backyard BBQs" - especially the baseball game - New Kids On The Block VS The Old Folks. We shall miss watching John groom his lawn, with headphones on listening to the Blue Jays games and of course - beer in hand. We will all do our very best at saving YOUR Heathercrest Park. May you rest in peace John and thanks for the memories.
