Debbie so sorry for your lose, I know what it feels like, but each day gets better,my prayers are with you, love Jane
I meet John through Gord Skerratt. John was a super guy.
I had just moved into a house near Orangeville and came home to no electricity. Upon a close survey of the electrical box I saw that the house had been hit by lighting. I called Gord and he called John, who arrived the next day and rewired the entire box and would not take anything for his labor. My wife Michele and I offer our condolences and Prayers for John and his family. Charlie Miller
Our Deepest Sympathy to you and your Family at these hard times.May God Bless him and R.I.P.
Our condolences to you Debbie and your family. It was wonderful to see Fr. Grima do the service and hear all the tributes to John. Sending hugs, Jim and Mary Reid

I will cherish the memories of our days together coaching our daughter’s on various Chinguacousy Girls Rep baseball teams and in particular when we won the Ontario Championship.
