Dear Dianne and Darlene...and your families. I am sending my sympathies for the passing of Uncle John. I have very fond memories of him, and Velma visiting our cottage during the summer months. They would arrive in his amazing boat, all shinny and classy. Around the point they would come. Afternoons on the cottage veranda were always special when Uncle John was visiting. Thinking of you all and sending a warm hug. Much Love, April Love-Woolley

Darlene, So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I did not know him, nor did I know that he was your dad. I remember kidding around with him one day when I had passed him going out to Lombard Manor, and then he pulled in not long after I got there. There was something, I can't remember now, written on the bumper of his car that pertained to a police car? and I wondered if I should pass him!!! He seemed to be quite a tease. You and your family will miss him very much. We know your Uncle Wendell and Glenn visits him and Sheila now and then. You and I got to know each other when going to Curves, through Mary Lou. May happy memories get you through this difficult time. Vivian Sample

So long good buddy. Thanks for being a good friend, both on the job and off. You gave me some good advice, that kept me & my mates out of trouble while we moved C.P.R. trains for the company. Last Sunday we drove by the Manor, and I mentioned to Debbie that we hadn't see you for a while, and that we should stop to visit and see how you were doing lately. We ran out of time that day, so please forgive me. My wife and I will miss bumping into you for a chat every once and awhile, but we'll be coming down that road that you've taken now someday, so pull up a chair and keep an eye out for us, so we don, t take the wrong route, Okay if you know what I mean. To your family, I'm very sorry for their lost, but if they need you all they have to do is look up and call for you and again they will hear your voice. Until we meet again your friends Jack & Debbie Saunders.

I first met your parents when your mom was in rehab at the south unit! Once again when she became a resident at Broadview when your Dad could no longer look after her at home? Johns multiple daily visits saw to it that your Mom had the best care possible ,whether it was medical, therapy, hairdo, clothing, outings, ect. He made sure it was attended to! He was devoted and dedicated to her. John was always upbeat and had kind friendly caring words to share, even when things were tough for him. He spoke well of and loved you girls and your families and had your best interests at heart! he spoke often about his days on the railroad with many tales to share. I share your loss. Deepest sympathy Cathy Steenburgh. Stu

Victoria Ash Our deepest condolences to Diane and Darlene and their families. There was never a time that you met Uncle John that he didn't have a joke to tell you and a big smile on his face. He always had time to ask you how things were going and how your family was keeping. Many a time I remember Uncle John and Aunt Velma coming to the cottage to visit and how happy my Mom, June (Fitchell) Love, was to see her brother and sister-in-law. I know I speak for all of my family when I say we were truly blessed to have such a caring, fun loving Uncle.
