I like to believe that you and David are celebrating what would have been your 63rd birthday today along with the old lady, dad, Afi, granny, other family members and of course with your fur babies. I’m sure everyone is enjoying the endless amounts of coffee that goes with the cakes, tarts, pies and countless other desserts. Miss you much! - Posted by: Debbie rutherford (Sister) on: Sep 28, 2022

John I just heard of your passing on Sept 12th, 2020 from our former Supervisor from originally Trizac Corporation and then Oxford Properties when we worked Security together. I only found out as I have just returned from Ontario which we said our goodbyes when I joined the Ontario Provincial Police. I am so sorry to hear of your passing and appreciate the time you took to show me the ropes and the long talks we had during a long 12 hour shifts particularly during a night shift. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge both professionally and personally. My condolences to your family. - Posted by: Clinton Fontaine (friend and Coworker) on: Sep 13, 2020

I was saddened to hear of John's sudden death. When I would call to speak to Wanda, John and I would always have a short conversation. He was upbeat and we usually had a laugh or two during our talks. John loved to travel and would always look forward to the next trip that he and Wanda were planning. My condolences to all of John's family and especially his loving wife Wanda....who would do anything to make him happy. And she did a great job. He will be missed. - Posted by: Lorraine S (friend) on: May 04, 2016

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. My mother, John's Aunt Joyce, called me to tell me the sad news. Joyce asked me to share the news with three other cousins who live here in Colorado: Paula, Margo and Connie. Joyce asked us to especially keep Wanda and Valdine in our thoughts. We are keeping all of John's family in our prayers. - Posted by: Marie Giedraitis-Edgar (Cousin (daughter of Valdine's sister, Joyce)) on: May 01, 2016
