Beena, Benita, Sunita and Sue... I was saddened when I heard the news of John; I send my thoughts to you all during this difficult time.
I had the privelege of spending a lot of time with your family while growing up and I can share and remember so many fond memories of John!! I always looked up to John and loved the smile he always had for others along with his encouraging words. I called him "dad" for many years while growing up alongside your family in Willingdon... I will cherish many of the special memories and a smile will always be on my face with any thoughts and memories of John who is remembered as a friend and father!
