Praying for God's comfort in this time of sadness.  

Sharon Wade

I enjoyed the  Tuna Fishing  Trips with John & being on his team when he caught the Big One.

We enjoyed dropping by for a drink with John & Norma when visiting the Larsen's.

John's dedication to helping others will continue to be inspirational.
His trips to London for others, no what his health.

Truly, he was a " Big John"

I will always remember the fun  times with John.

I cannot claim to be a close friend but I can sincerely say that you did not have to be a close friend to have him touch your lives.

Good Bye John - Gone but Never Forgotten

Dianne & John McLean

Norma, we share your grief as you and your family mourn John's passing.  He was your soulmate, an exemplary family man and a special friend of ours.  Love, Don and Sharon

Dear Norma and Family;
I wanted to express my sympathy on the loss of John.  I have so many wonderful memories from Kiwanis and the Cutten.  John had a larger than life presence when he entered a room.  He was a great encourager to me and for that I will be forever greatful.  I still am using the Ducane BBQ I bought in 1982; he said it would last forever, and it did; and for me John's influence will always be there for me too.

Our deepest sympathy to the family,
KELLY GREENWAY BRUCE and staff

I am so sorry to hear the news of John's passing. I well remember a lovely visit to meet John and Norma when I was in Canada a few years ago. My sympathy and love are coming to all the family from Stratford, Victoria in Australia. Hilary Rash.

John, Soula and Sasha, we are so very sorry for your loss.  Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your family during this very sad time.  All our love, Janet, Doug and Nic (Langley, BC)

Our deepest sympathy Norma. Plaza 700 has lost one of its anchors. John was truly an outstanding member of his community.


                                                  Jim and Joan Fernandes, Oshawa, ON.

We are deeply grieved by your passing. You will be missed more than one can ever know.     Ruthie & Terry Eden.

JB will be greatly missed. He was always gallant, charming, thoughtful and kind. And we truly admired the loving relationship he had with Norma (so very classy). Over our 20 year relationship we felt adopted by them. We will miss our bridge partner.
