To the Family,
With a heavy heart I offer my deepest condolences to you. John was a kind soul whose sense of humour, charm and love of family was always present. May memories of happiness and love embrace you and sustain you in your loss.
Whatever I write here will feel inadequate.
Thank you for all the love and laughter and light.
You touched so many lives with your kindness and warm friendship and words cannot express how much you are missed.
So honoured to have been a part of John’s life for the last 57 years. May our memories of all the good times we had with him, help us all through our sorrow. He was such an amazing man.
To the family,
John was a long time co-worker and friend.
He will be dearly missed. Our monthly dinner out with the retiree’s group will never be the same without John’s presence. His kindness and friendship will never leave us.
May he Rest In Peace.

Dear John, when I heard the news my heart broke, we had worked together off and on for 25 some years. We had such good times together and also enjoyed a few parties with Rose, your beautiful mother. I can only say I am glad you are reunited. God took you from us far too early. I am sorry for your family’s loss and Mark as well, though we did not get to meet in person, John told me about you. You will be truly missed.
So kind! Thank you
Hope you are well.
So many people trying to deal with his loss ❤
To John’s family and friends,
May hearts reach out to you today in deepest sympathy.
May the love of family and friends help you through these
tough and sad times.
Hope you find peace through the healing power of love.
I did not know John very well or for very long, yet he was incredibly welcoming and so easy to get along with it felt like I’d known him for years. He was always pleasant, good-natured, and had a great sense of humour – he fit in beautifully with Mark’s friends.
John was a lovely man who will be missed but not forgotten.
Dear Kathy and Family. I am sending my heartfelt condolences to all of you. John was a dear friend that began with our days at Carousel Tours. I have such fond memories of him as a kind, gentle and funny soul. He will be dearly missed. No doubt that your parents will be embracing him once again. Your entire family was so special to me during the years I lived in Toronto.
Sending hugs and healing prayers,
Janis Kaufman
