It was always fun to be around John, especially back in the warm summers days at Victoria Beach. I will always remember walking back from the golf course on a late summer day with my Dad, John and Joe. John mentioned that he never liked fall. When asked why he responded: "Because some of us come back in the spring and some of us don't." We're all sorry John won't be here this spring but will remember all the enjoyment he brought to our lives. All the best to Lauren,Kelly, Jay and the rest of the family. - Posted by: graham lloyd (cousin-in-law) on: Jan 09, 2016
