John was such a kind, friendly man. He always used to visit me when we were both out on our walks or his daily coffee at the casino. His kind, gentle and teasing nature reminded me of my late grandfather. I will relay miss this wonderful man. My thoughts are prayers are with his family during this time.
I’m very saddened to hear of Johns passing. I go into his building for work and used to run into him all the time there or at Walmart where he was sitting with a coffee and people watching. We always had a good visit and some laughs. My deepest sympathy to his family.
I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with John for many years at Canadian Salt.
In retirement , he was always so friendly- stopping to chat whenever we ran into him
I am sorry for your loss. I can’t believe he’s gone!
Deepest sympathy Sandra and family. He always had a tooth pick in his mouth and had that good sense of humor. I know he loved to visit at Tim’s.
So, sad to hear that John has died. I worked with John at Canadian Salt he was a fork driver and made us earn our money. We had many Bible discussion, I personally am looking forward to seeing him in resurrection day, as mentioned in John 5:28,29. My sincere sympathy to all in the family. James Sikorski.
I remember John well. He often visited Stadacona Gospel Chapel in the past. He was a quiet man with a big smile. I remember his daughter also and extend my sympathy to her. He was a good man and he has gone to his reward.
