Such community people, that both your parents were girls. He will me missed by many! May he rest in peace.

To John's family,
What a wonderful man. We knew him mainly through Teeswater United Church. The work both he and your mother Betty did for the church did not go unnoticed. They were dedicated. There was always a smile, a little humour. We will miss his attendance at Salem United Church. Rest in peace John. God Bless.

Sincere sympathy to Karen, Cindy and families, on the loss of John. He certainly was a busy and devoted man.
The memorium that you wrote about your father, explains the true love your family had for each other. John was a fellow truck driver with Eugene at Gaylea Foods. He talked about his younger days at work in Holland. Sounds like a very interesting life that he had. Prayers are with you at this sad time.
Sending our sincere condolences to John's girls and all his family near and far. He always had a smile and a chuckle when I seen him at the Post Office always on the run. He will be so missed around town.
Our sympathy,
Don and Judy Clark
Karen & Cindy, so sorry to hear of your father's passing. Your parents were good firends of mine and I remember him well from when I was a teenager.
My deepest sympathy,

Karen & Cindy,
Our sincerest condolences to you and your families. What a beautiful tribute to your Dad. John was our regular milk transport driver in our dairy farming years and retired shortly before our retirement years. He always spoke fondly of his family. He would give our 2 children occasional rides out the farm lane way in the milk truck and would blow the horn past our house, then dropping the kids a short distance at the end of the driveway. They were so thrilled! We would have many chats in the milk house while John waited on our load.
Cherish his fond memories and the family times you spent with him. RIP John.

Karen and Cindy,
Your Father was a special person, taking the time to welcome us as newcomers to the community, to sit on the front porch for long chats, share a wink at those long church meetings and later to discuss the merits of baked bread and Ollie Bollen over the Internet. He will be missed by everyone lucky enough to have known him! Our deepest condolences to you and your families.

My HERO, the only one l called dad because you were my lifesaver! May you rest in paradise with Betty! Condolences and hugs to all the family!

I got to know John as a customer at Stainton Home Hardware in Wingham. Enjoyed my many talks with him. He was a true gentleman. He will be missed by his community.
