I was devastated to learn of Johns passing. We were like brothers in our early years and, while we saw each other rarely usually at someone elses funeral we e spoke almost daily. I will miss him a great deal. Heather and I are in Cuba until Saturday and so will miss the service. Love to both of you talk to you soon

John was a fixture in the neighbourhood. He was often tending to the garden and sitting reading outside by his front door on sunny days when I walked my children home from school or the library and we always enjoyed a chat and a laugh. He will be missed. We are very sorry for your loss.
