Condolences & Memories (15 entries)

  • My deepest condolences Carol, Gord and family. I have fondly thought of you all often over these many years and have so many good memories of my time working at the store with John. He will continue to be remembered well. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing him with us. Blessings, (Rev.) Lois Punton - Posted by: Lois Punton (Friend) on: Apr 13, 2017

  • The Pink was a devoted husband, wonderful father and grandfather and a friend. He was a great leader and his business acumen had him destined for a senior management position at Safeway. However, his love of Carol and his entrepreneurial spirit resulted in John purchasing his own store. He had a great work ethic and his sense of humor always made working with John fun. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Carol and the rest of the family. John made the world a better place and he left his indelible mark on everyone he touched.
