My relationship with John was an extended period as administrative assistant, first when he was Vice-President Medical of the Health Science Centre and then when he was named Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba. It was a wonderful experience. I also got to know Marilyn and the children through the years, My condolences to all the family. - Posted by: Annie Vialard (co-worker and friend) on: Aug 04, 2025

I worked for John at the Health Sciences Centre many years ago. In later years it was always a pleasure running into him on Bannatyne Campus or crossing paths with John and Marilyn at JJ’s store on Hwy 596 when heading out to our cabins. I will remember John as the kind, gentle man and excellent administrator that he was. My Condolences to Marilyn, their children and family. May your memories and love for John help you through this difficult time. - Posted by: Terri Turner (Co-worker) on: Aug 02, 2025
