I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Art. We had worked closely together in the Weston Drafting Office for a short time, and from this brief time, I learned first hand what a wonderful and skilled person Art was. The last time I spoke to Art was at a retirement party last October where he mentioned that his health was not good. I am honored to have know him and I will always fondly remember him. My condolences to you the family. - Posted by: Raymond Kowal (CPR Weston Shops Co-worker) on: Sep 01, 2015

John was always a gentleman. An excellent curler and one who sought to excel yet played within the rules and with a friendly disposition. John was highly respected by all in our curling group and will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Phil Trottier (Curling friend) on: May 12, 2015
