John FETHERSTONHAUGH

He was my attorney when I divorced my first wife !!!
He had an awesome sense of humour, he always seemed to have a way to make things seem better than they were.

A quiet soul ....he loved to read the newspaper and clip out articles to mail and send in his comments and opinions ... he was very well known at the post office ! May everyone : think of his brilliance and kind heart .... you remain , always in our hearts . Hugs to his most amazing wife : Catherine! I love you

Mrs. Fetherstonhaugh, I just learned from Rob that his father had passed away. When I visited Dorval 3 years ago, it was a highlight of my trip to be able to say hello to you at the house on Berkley Crescent.

I always knew your husband had an accomplished career, but the range of his interests and achievements were truly astounding. First amongst them, of course, is the example he and you have left with your children. Their lives and contributions are the best tribute to both you and John.

From a neighbour and friend just a few doors away many years ago, my sincere condolences.

Rob and family - my thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Loving memories of this most wonderful man will warm your hearts.

Both personally ,on behalf of the Drummond Foundation (the successor to the St Margaret's Home charitable trusts with which John Fetherstonhaugh was so deeply engaged for many years) , and in gratitude for the Wise counsel he offered in that role and as an advisor to my late grandmother Dorothea Drummond Millar, I extend deepest sympathies to Mr Fetherstonhaugh's family on his passing .

Hello Rob,
Circumstances prevent us from being there this Saturday for the service, however, we just wanted to let you know we send our deepest condolences on the loss of your Dad. Our lives should be as full.

Cathy,
I hadn't seen John since the early forties when we were at Selwyn House at the same time, although he was a year or two ahead of me. I have a clear memory of him ... tall, slim, thick hair, and seemingly very intelligent.

Do you remember me? We went to Miss Edwards' dancing classes together and later skied at the Shawbridge Club. We never really got to know each other very well, but I remember you very clearly. I knew your brother Bill pretty well, and I have a clear memory of your Father, who always seemed to be very jovial and in a good humour. I enjoyed meeting him very much.

I offer you my most sincere sympathy in John's death. But he had a long and very fulfilling and rewarding life, and was surely an ornament to his family, society and many friends and admirers. Take great comfort in that.

Please accept my warmest wishes, Cathy. It's very nice to be reminded of you, from what now seems to be so far back. All our memories are happy.
Affectionately, Geoff Lehman.

I am grateful for John's assistance with my patent application in 1986. While the invention was never a commercial success, at least both our names are permanently enshrined in the Library of Congress. A donation has been made in his memory to the Ste-Anne's Hospital foundation.

Rob and Heidi:
What a truly amazing man.
Thinking of you both at this time of loss, with fond high school memories in Dorval.

John was a good and challenging friend and colleague. We shared many interests and enjoyed discussing them. Heartfelt condolences and best wishes to Cathie and your families.

The sad news of the passing of John Fetherstonhaugh has reflected great loss to the greater Montreal community and to international communities.

My late husband, Kalman Samuels QC, was a colleague, confrere and admirer of the late John Fetherstonhaugh. Their careers were to some degree paralleled both studying Law at McGill and completed law studies at Laval University. Both received the Queens Council (QC) award and both were involved in the political arena on behalf of the Liberal Party.

May you find comfort in the recognition and memory of a significant accomplished life which has accorded so many benefits to the world around him.

Sincerely,

Stella Samuels

A brilliant jewel,has been passed on from our world and into the next.
I will miss your stories and words of wisdom. You have taken a part of my heart with you ... sleep well.

My condolences,to all the remaining fingers that were part of the glove.

Mrs F ..I am here,when you need anything.

Hugs,
J

I was fortunate to have known Mr. Fether and hear first hand some of his great humanitarian causes. My most sincere condolences to Mrs. Fether, Rob, Brian and Catherine and your families.

On behalf of Zerf Productions, board of Directors, accept our deepest Condolences, on the passing of a mentor, friend and director. "Well then John"

Can think of no finer man that Mr. Fether...loved to talk with him about our favourite topic; history...beginning with WW2, then over the years Cathie and I were together and I studied history at McGill...interwar and WW1 history. Many of the the words he spoke at the time about so many topics only resonated as the years went by.
I also want to extend my deepest condolences to Mrs Fether...I know John's idiosyncrasies were not always the easiest to deal with...and you were ALWAYS there for him and all your kids; I have only the best memories of you. Rob, Brian, my thoughts are with you and your family...and of course Cathie, John and all the Graham's...I'll be thinking of you all.

Brother Fetherstonhaugh will be greatly missed. We very much enjoyed his company, his stories and his wisdom over the years. He touched many old and young. In Tau Kaapa Phi we wish him godspeed.

I was sad to read of John"s passing but feel honoured to have known him well. He was certainly one of the Legion's most interesting members and he did have a lot of interesting things to say. My sincere condolences to his family, of which he was very proud.

Our sincerest condolences on behalf of Members of the Dorval Legion Branch 245
