Very sad to hear of this today. But very glad to have known John for the last 36 years. The best boss I ever worked for! Although we hadn't worked together for the past 25 years we always kept in touch and had many a good laugh. Condolences to Pauline and John's family. Jim and Debbie.

Hi Pauline. Just saw saw this notice today. Can’t tell you how sad it made me. I was trying to find your phone number to let you know that I was “stopping by” and to get the coffee and cookies ready. Then I saw the notice. Deepest condolences. He was a good friend and one of my best mentors. John made up a big part of who I am today.
I’ll miss him.

Dearest John and Pauline....
Such beautiful friends and neighbours. I am just now reading this news 4 years later. I love you both. How kind and supportive you were after the deaths of my beloved boys. John loved our dear old dog, Bear, too....she so often, would sneak over and we'd find her enjoying treats with John. What would I have done without you? You helped me John and Pauline, those mornings when i ciuld hardly bear the weight of my sorrow.. I'd come over and you'd both just sit quietly with me and make me a tea. How special you'll both always be to me. I would love contact from Pauline or family to say hello and express my gratitude and love.
Kelly Brook
Your neighbour on good old Kitchener Rd....way back in the day.
