John has been a wonderful neighbour to us for the last 32 years. He and his wife frequently brought over vegetables from their garden. I will miss seeing John working in his garage and yard, or taking a stroll down the street. I will miss the wave from him when I pull out of the driveway. - Posted by: Karen Pollock (Friend) on: Dec 15, 2010
