To Sean and Layne and families,
I was saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. I have found that it is the times like this that we find all our family memories can carry us through. Steve and I lost our own John Marett in February of 2011 and all of us warmly recall the happy times of Dad's life. I am sure it will be the same for you.
I was so happy to see that there are 4 Marett grandkids start the new generation of Maretts. Your Dad was, I'm sure, so proud of this family!
Please accept my condolences.

Our hearts go out to you in this time of sorrow. God is our refuge and strength a help that is readily to be found in times of distress. - Psalms 46:1

WOW,Snappy!so many friends that you having giving lasting memories to,you impacted everyone's life in so many ways.A truly big loss,for all your friends and family..Thank goodness we have the stories and wonderful memories to share with others..on behalf of the membership, North Shore Rod and Custom c.c...R.I.P. John

John was such a kind, funny, interesting and warm gentleman.  He'll be missed by many, many people.  Memories are to be cherished, we're all so fortunate to have such good ones with John. Sending sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I am truly saddened to  hear of John's death, I had wondered over the years how he was doing, I dealt with him when I worked in North Van at the transit company, I found him to be a very honest person and very easy to deal with.
I of course still have all the tools I bought from him, I knew him for the 19 years I worked at the garage, and I think he found it funny that besides buying tools for the company, I as a partsman was buying more than the mechanics that made their living with his tools.
He will be missed, I regret I did not try to get in touch with him over the years, although I thought of him often.
He made a lasting impression on me as it was the first real dealing I had in the working world as a young man starting out.
I even remember all I had to do was call if I was stuck for something and he would say "come by the house and get what you need."
He was a good man.
Take comfort in your memories of your time with him.
Bill
