    I fondly remember “JJ” from my early years with CPR, back in 1972 working the graveyard shift in the Customer Service Center. “Dead Eye John” (pertaining to the use of elastic bands) was the midnight Assistant Chief Clerk (forever). Didn’t know he was born in Willow Brunch (seemed to have an English accent). He was well respected by the night crew, working with, helping out and mentoring. He was sharp as a pin, had a great sense of humor and helped to make those long shift go by.

    Glad he lived a long life

    I well remember John as I too worked at C.P. Rail. I was employed in the Car department and always enjoyed saying hi to John.
    he always had a smile and I never heard any bad remarks from the mouth of my friend John.
    my thoughts and prayer go out to all the family.
