Dear Deb, We’re very sorry for your loss. We've not had the chance to visit Aunt Doe this year and at the same time, getting that chance to see you and John too, during those short visits to the lake. We always fondly remember you folks whenever we get to talking with Aunt Doe, catching up with her & life, in general. Honestly, we didn't really get to know John that well. But, because of those nice quiet conversations and interactions with him, we got to know him well enough to know that he was a super nice man with a big generous heart (who clearly didn't mind too much when choosing to get involved in a neighbourly way, for all the right reasons as a good kind hearted person). It’s not stretch to say that his generous spirit will be missed by many people who knew him a little, or a lot. Again, our deepest sympathies to you, Deb and to all the rest of those friends & family closest to John, too. And, thanks John for caring & sharing. Rest in peace, sir. Stay strong, Deb. Sincerely, Barb & Pete Tokar Weston, Ont.
Debbie we are so sorry & saddened for the loss of your beloved John. You shared a one of a kind bond that never can be broken. Our deepest condolences. Cherish the memories. Love Uncle Alex & Aunt Joan
