Der Elda, Bill and Family:
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your son.  My sincere sympathy to you and your family.  Please know that my thoughts are with you in this difficult time.  Best Regards.

Bill and Elda and Family,

I cannot even begin to express how sorry I am to hear of Johns' passing.  I have always had the fondest memories of the time we all had working at the Cinemas.  Alot of laughter was shared. 
Thinking of you all in thought and prayer.

Chères Josée et Néomie,
Je vous garde dans mes prières pendant ce temps difficile. Prenant part à votre tristesse, je vous présente mes sincères condoléances, à vous et à votre famille.
Hélène et les enfants

Bill and Elda
I cannot express the saddness you must feel. I always enjoyed our time with you and John at the movie theater and the fun times we shared. John always had a great sense of humor and I cannot believe he is gone. I am sending my condolences and know that my thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Graham:  My condolences for the loss of John.  I met John many years ago when we took karate together and he was such a wonderful young man....always laughing and always with a smile.   He was so much fun to be around.  I'll glad to see that his life turned out so happy and so wonderful even he left you far too soon.  My thoughts and prayers to his wife and young daughter, may the way be as smooth as possible for them.....loss is never easy and in cases such as these, it seems even more unfair.   Be strong for each other.

So sorry to hear of Johns passing. Way too soon. Great guy Johnnie G.

My sincere condolences to Bill, Elda and all families for the loss of John.  My thoughts are with you.  May the love and support of friends and family help you through this difficult time.  Wishing all peace of heart.   
Best Regards,

Mr and Mrs G., Josee and Neomie and family;

We are so shocked and saddened to hear about John's sudden passing - how your hearts must be broken. 

We have many happy memories of Johnny from our days at the Station Cinema. From lively conversations in the office on Sundays to (almost) the entire staff running out to the parking lot to see his new Dodge Dakota, Johnny's easygoing manner and dry wit was a huge part of the family atmosphere that so many of us felt. We will always remember his wry smile and familiar laugh fondly. 

He was a very special person and his absence will leave a void in many lives, but we believe he would want his family and close friends to remember the happy times you shared, and also to enjoy what life has in store ahead of you. He may be gone physically but what he left behind is timeless. 

The funeral is about to commence; how we wish so much that we could attend. May you have some comfort knowing that others share in your grief.

We will never forget Johnny and the wonderful person he was.

Much love,

Sarah and Will Haimerl

My sincere condolences to the Graham families. I met John when I worked at the gym many years ago. I have fond memories of him; he was a very nice guy. from: Sue Famiglietti

Chere Josee, Neomie,

C'est avec incredulite et grande tristesse que nous avons appris le depart de John. Nos pensees sont avec vous. Sinceres sympathies,

Isabelle, Viviane et Benoit.

John I miss you so much it hardly seems real you are gone. Tears fill my eyes as I write this. I remember the first day we went to school and all the things we did together. I have known you since we were  4 yrears old so a ;ife time. You have gone to that big fishin hole in the sky.

Thinking of the Graham family at this difficult time. What a wonderful man John was. So easy to talk to and his smile so infectious. Sending love to you John and comfort to your whole family!

I was saddened to hear the news about John..Johnny G(as many called him) was a friend from high school and college..always had a big smile and a great fishing story.  My condolences to his wife, daughter, parents, & family. May fond memories of John help ease the pain that you feel today and in the future.

Josee, Neomie, Mr and Mrs Graham and Family,
I am so terribly sorry to hear of your loss. John was always so kind and gentle-natured and he had such a wonderful sense of humour!  
Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Chères Josée et Néomie, chers Suzanne et Jacques,

Les circonstances nous empêchent malheureusement de vous témoigner notre sympathie en personne en ces moments difficiles, mais soyez assurés que vous demeurez dans nos pensées et nos prières. Nos sincères condoléances à toute la famille. Nous ferons chanter une messe à Cache Bay pour le repos de l'âme de John.

To John's family,
We are so sorry for your loss.  Please accept our deepest sympathies.

I wish i could be there but sorry for ur lose 

 the long family

Death, be not proud

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

Bill, Elda, and family:
Sending our condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Brian and Bev Dunn

To the Graham family. I'd like to offer my condolences on behalf of the Desando/Zorzi Family. I know loosing close family is an experience that words cannot remedy. Having almost lost my father earlier this year I and my brothers know that terrible feeling far too well. Remember not someone by their death but rather the joy they brought in life. I wish you all the best, thank you for your generosity.

Deepest sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Graham. Aussi a Josee et Neomie. Rest in peace.
The Inch Family

I am very saddened to hear of the death of your husband. Please accept my sincere condolences. You are in my thoughts, and I wish you all possible comfort during this difficult time. xoxoxo

Our condolences to all the family. Whereas we did not know John personally, the affect he had on his family, and the happiness he brought them, deeply impacted our interactions with them. We are so sorry to hear this news. All our love and support, Anna and Ethan.

Johnny G.
Such sad new!  One of the good guys gone far too soon!  Thinking of the G's and Josée and Néomie during this especially difficult time.  Take comfort in knowing he touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with and left a lasting impression in our minds. I knew Johnny in highschool and from the movie theatre and remember him as the quietest/shyest usher with a great sense of humour.  Seeing the pictures on here of Johnny with his wife and daughter just reaffirm to me what an awesome husband and father he went on to become.
My deepest sympathies,

To Josee and Neomie,and the Graham family. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts and prayers of many are with you during this time of sorrow. May all the wonderful memories of John bring you comfort. Please accept our deepest sympathies.
Ron and Ruth Rantamaki

It's with a heavy heart that I write this to Mr. and Mrs. Graham.  Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your son Jonny.  Jonny was a true friend and never had anything negative to say about anyone.  He will be deeply missed.

Nos plus sinceres sympathies a vous Josee, Manon, Jacques et Suzanne et la famille.
On ne peut physiquement etre avec vous mais vous etes dans nos pensees et nos prieres. Bon courage en ce temps si penible

John you will always be a valued colleauge, and friend. I will truly miss our conversations that usually started out work related, yet always turned to fishing, hunting, the movies, and of course, Néomie, and what you and Josée had been up to. Sea Lamprey, and DFO will never be the same.  
Néomie, Josée, my deepest condolences to you, and to all of John's family. John was truly one of the best.

You were a great cousine that will be missed 
the odd time that i went fishing with you other family member 
Went My dad and visit for christmas and the time we had water fights 
rest in peace big guy 

Love Timothy & Lori and  Family Ardiel

It is with a very heavy heart that I write this.  Although Jonny and I had lost touch, I always did and always will think of him as the sweetest guy I know.  Mr. and Mrs. Graham, Josee and Neomie, I wish I could be there to hug you and tell you in person how sorry I am for your loss.  I am so privileged to have known your son, husband and daddy.  Heaven just gained a beautiful angel. xxoo

Josée, Néomie and families,
From our family to yours, our thoughts and prayers are with you in the days to come, and may you be comforted by those who love you and care for you.

I enjoyed the times you spent with us, for dinner,drinks, your work trip down to see Blue Rodeo, etc.You will be missed, rest in peace John. My deepest sympathy to Josée and Néomie, and all the rest of the family.

I am so sorry to hear about John.  I was able to catch up with John over the summer when I ran into him at the Station Mall.  He spoke so proudly of his wife Josee and his daughter Neomie.  I will always remember John as the sweet and kind person that he was.  Much love from Tokyo....Elaine, Fred, Kai and Kieran

John

On behalf of all of your friends and colleagues from Fisheries and Oceans Central and Arctic Region Information Management and Technology Services as well as all IMTS employees across DFO you will be missed. You will be remembered for your great smile and laugh as well as your dedication to work, your in depth technical knowledge and your willingness to help anyone and everyone who stopped by your office or called. We will miss you, our friend but you will be with us in the spirit of the machine and in the word you finished all of your emails, Cheers!

To Josée, Néomie, Bill, Elda and Family

We can not know the feelings and emotions of sorrow and loss that you must be going through at this very difficult time. Take some comfort in knowing that John touched a lot of people and made a difference to others in his life.

I have known John for the past 10 years. As John's supervisor for a majority of that time, I can say that John was a very hardworking and consciences employee. John was extremely dependable and I could always rely on John for anything that I asked of him. Over that time, we had the opportunities to get to know each on a more personal level through our work face to face meetings and more specifically the after work get togethers... From that, I visited with John in his Sault Ste Marie office on several occasions while driving to my hometown in Thunder Bay during summer vacations. We often liked to discuss our shared love of Northern Ontario, especially the North Shore of Lake Superior as well as John's hunting and fishing trips, the building of his new house and his family. 

Our deepest sympathies go out to all of you.
