Douglas and Andrew and Family, we are so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. We have so many great memories being a good friend and neighbour, Lobster and goose parties, and repairing John's hunting outfits. For the repairs, John would bring a bottle of scotch, I would do the sewing and He and Jerry would do the Scotch. He would raid my garden of spinach when his Oysters arrived from the East and we would have a feast. A truly unforgetable character. Will miss you. Joan and Jerry Hrncirik and family.

I am greatful for the time I got to spend hanging out with John, listening to stories of his life's adventures as we'd share in a glass of harveys bristol cream. He'd always give me a hard time if i thought of leaving before the soldier was dead. I remember one Christmas in particular where we exchanged gifts and, as it turned out, we gave each other a bottle of Harvey's. I shall always think of John and the time we shared whenever I partake in a glass of sherry. Very fond memories.
Condolences and deepest sympathies to the family.

We have fond memories of John and his professionalism when he arranged Canadair Flextrac's overseas shipments. I had the pleasure of attending his famous lobster parties that he hosted in style. I called him a couple of times at his home in Tilley and regret not making the time to visit him there.
Our deepest sympathies to the family,
Betty & Carl Powell
