You were the best Uncle ever, even if we didn’t agree about Mike Harris. You (along with the best Aunt ever) were a guiding figure as I grew from a little girl, to a teen, and then an adult. Thank-you Uncle John for all the fun times and memories.❤🙏❤
I will always remember your practical jokes, our great debates 😉 and your never ending support.
Love you Dad.
You were the most loving, caring Uncle anyone could ever have. You brought so many memories & fun times being together with our family gatherings in Newmarket. It was your’s and Auntie Helen’s place I stayed every weekend when dating my husband David. I Will never forget ❤️
Dear Dan ,Chris and family:
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. I did not know he passed and came across his obituary today. He was always very kind to me when I saw him at your home in Georgetown and I always enjoyed talking to him. He would always greet me with “Hi kid !” and a big hug. Losing a parent is never easy. My condolences to you and the Kaye family on your dads passing
