Sensei Drouin was my karate instructor back in the eighties. He had a gift for teaching. I have fond memories of those classes as do many of my fellow students. Rest in peace Sensei

John was such a personality. My husband, Tony, enjoyed his friendship so much. A guy coming from not very much, but through hard work made a good life. We owe it to John for talking Tony into buying our business building and then, our house 45 years ago. I remember the Oak Ridge Rd. home and John’s other great talent when he developed the beautiful gardens and decorating of his home. I still smile when I think of him, and I’m so grateful for his ‘presence’ in our journey.
Karen and family, please accept my deepest sympathy.
How you can show support

John was Shihan to many of his students at his dojo . He could be tuff on you in his class but in some ways it was a put on. The reason I say that is because this is one of my favorite memories of John, my daughter Keri was maybe 6 or 7 he showed his tuff side when she didn't do the right thing he said if you don't get it right I'm going to put you on the nuntai bow ,tears came out from Keri right away Shihan showed his caring side and ran over to her and gave Keri a big hug. Our family will always remember John or to us shihan.

John was my karate instructor at the YMCA in the late 70´s and early 80´s. Strict discipline, and very tough training! But the lessons my fellow students and I had learned from it would last an entire lifetime. Because of this, I will always have fond memories of Sensei Drouin. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his friends and family. May he Rest in Peace
