John will be missed. He was a valued part of our Citizens All family.
My wife and I as JW would like to share our sympathy to all in the family. Also we would like to share some answers from the Bible on the subject call death. (1) ? Why do we face the subject called death ? Ans, is given Romans 5: 12. (2) ? Is it possible to see our love ones alive again?
Ans, Is mentioned in 1Corinthians 15: 21- 23. (3) ? Is it possible for us to live forever ? Ans, Jesus give us this answer in John 17: 1 – 4. Jim & Olga
I am saddened to hear of John’s passing. He was a lovely part of my childhood.
Johnny was my cousin and only a few years younger than me. He was my first human relationship with an individual different from myself and his presence in my life taught me a multitude of lessons I did’t even know I was learning at the time. I remember with fondness, his sweetness, his gentleness and his smile… always smiling.
John, your presence on this earth, for as long or short as it was, touched me as a child and I imagine others as well.
Johnny sweet Johnny, I will miss you.
Love, your cousin, Rita
We were very sad to hear the news of John’s passing. He always had a smile for everyone unless you told him to turn down his Mrs. Mills records which he loved dearly. Our condolences to Don, Barb & Dolina and all their families.
Our thoughts & prayers go out to all John’s family, Don, Barb, Dolina and families as well as his extended family at his Hochelaga home. All will miss his smile and his joyful personality.
As a cousin he is remembered as a very loving, friendly & joyful soul.
My Dad Malcolm MacIver (Uncle Mac to John) would say when something like this happens, “Life goes on, like it or not.”
Yes our lives will go on but they have forever changed, never to be the same. We will miss you John but you will continue to be part of our lives in memory. Fare well good & faithful friend.
Take care all of you & God be with you as you grieve and say “Fare Well” to John (Johnny Mac).
Love your cousin Janine & Walter Katelnikoff & Family and your uncle Mac MacIver
