So sorry to hear of John's passing. Prayers for all of you. I have a lot of memories of John - cutting down our tree on the farm, helping at youth group and around your place when I was hanging out with Jon. I hope God comforts you during this time.

Sharon and Family, I was so sorry to hear of John's sudden passing. What a shock for you all. Our sincere condolences to you. One memory in particular comes to mind when I think of John. Many years ago when my son was working in Warwick, he was stuck there when his car wouldn't start. There was a massive snowstorm happening and he was preparing to sleep in his car. (I learned this later as it was before he had a cell phone.) I called your house and John drove down and found him at the pallet factory and took him home for the night. Your family gave him refuge in the storm - literally. I've been forever grateful. I'm praying for you and your children and grandchildren that God would provide His great comfort and help you through each moment.

Dear Sharon and family, Karen and I just heard the news of John’s passing into Glory… and are still sitting here somewhat stunned. The bumping into you two at Lambton Mall some months ago, and the great encouragement we received from that divine appointment. What can we say? Hugs, hugs and more hugs, with lots of love from us.

Our sincere condolences to Sharon and family. So many wonderful memories of time spent with John and Sharon, but my favorite ones are when he was at practice putting his heart and soul into his music and his excitement when talking about sharing the wildlife that Sharon and him share in their own backyard. And his care for others. Now he gets to meet the maker of these things he enjoyed. May God bless you all with the peace that passes all understanding as you go forward remembering a life well lived. Sharon and family you will be in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. We will cherish the memories.
