• Jane and Zachary, We want to express our deepest sympathy to you and the entire family. We met John when Zachary started kindergarten. We were impressed by how well read he was, always on top of current events and fast to verbalize and argue concepts and ideology. His quick wit and intelligence shone through these conversations. John was the only man we knew who could paint an entire house with a hand brush, and do it well. We enjoyed the fun times, scrabble, crazy hat party, charades, and the social events we attended together. His care for his loved ones was admirable, and he truly was proud of his "Janey" and Zachary. May he Rest in Peace. - Posted by: Todd and Janice Dobson (friend) on: Jul 13, 2022

• Dear Jane, Sandy and Wendy and families. So so sorry to hear about John's sudden passing. Last time I saw him was when he brought Bill to my dad's memorial service and I'll always remember his kindness and thoughtfulness in doing that as it meant so so much to me and would have done to my Dad. I have wonderful, loving memories of John as the cutest little boy ever and of the times when your mom would be willing to let us baby sit him for a weekend so we and especially my mom could enjoy have a little guy around to adore. I wish all of you much love and support at this time which I'm sure is so very difficult for you. With love ❤️Carol Ellerbeck - Posted by: Carol Ellerbeck (Family friend ) on: Jul 11, 2022

• We are truly saddened by the passing of our kid brother. Uncle John to us and our kids was a bright star in our lives. Although the miles kept us apart our brief visits and many lengthy long distance phone calls and text exchanges filled our hearts with the warmth of John's love.

To Jane, Zachary and Isis our deepest condolences and may your lives be fulfilled knowing that John was a part and that he loved you deeply and was immensely proud of you.

• I met John in 1976 while playing basketball for the Junior Varsity Team at the University of Winnipeg. John had played the year before and befriended me as I knew none of the new players. We went on to play senior mens for a few years after this but I soon lost track of him. I have nothing but good memories of John and Jane and how kind they both were to me.

• My condolences to Jane, Zachary and family! I met John about 8 years ago, and worked alongside him in a part-time employment capacity since then. I greatly enjoyed working with John and his ever-present sense of humor. He was a most reliable and hard working member of our store team. He will be missed by all his store colleagues, and many customers who knew John and ask for him by name. Al Hurlburt - Posted by: Al Hurlburt (Co-Worker) on: Jul 09, 2022
