What can I possibly say that others already haven't....to say "I'm sorry for your loss" just seems shallow in light of how you must feel having been through this tragedy of John's sudden passing. I didn't know your husband and wished I would have had the opportunity to meet him but I know he must have been a great guy to have captured your heart for all those years. The past few years have been hard on you Jennifer and it makes me so sad to know that you are hurting inside but knowing that so many people love you and are right there with you; even if it's just in our prayers; I hope you can feel some comfort with that. You are stronger than you realize and are made of amazing grit and tenderness all wrapped up in one. I felt your smile and your spirit shine when we were all together having fun and my hope is that you continue to shine bright because the world needs you....you are special and always know you're in my thoughts and my chats with God. Blessings and Hugs ...

I have missed you since you left AB and it seems surreal that I will not be able to meet with you again. John was a good man with a kind heart for those he loved, especially his wife, his son, his daughter-in-law and his two grandchildren. He never wanted much but always enjoyed a good meal to share with his family. He was soft spoken until he witnessed an injustice or a wrong doing then we all knew he had a voice and an opinion to share. He taught us many things and one lesson I learned was to stop rushing to get to a place that I did not want to be at. He'd say "slow down, relax and enjoy the ride". Another we all learned was how many tablespoons of sugar in a can of pop! He loved the news, his pets and the MapleLeafs! He was always willing to help family, friends, neighbors, no questions really, just where and when? He was a happy man with a ready smile and always made me laugh when he put his hat on sideways saying he was locked in and ready to go! He was a man who overcame adversity and never complained, he just put one foot in front of the other and continued on his journey. He was a man of integrity and one who I admired greatly.
I cannot pretend to understand the plan that God has instore for us but I believe we must keep our faith knowing that HE needed him more. I loved him not just as my brother-in-law but as my friend.
Rest well John, you deserve this peace!

John was a kind, giving person. He was always the first in line to help anyone who needed it. The first time I met John, was through Jennifer. He came to my house and cut down 13 poplar trees. It was a fabulous day getting to know him. He had a great sense of humor too. While helping my dad put a door in the house he would sit back and watch the perturbed look on my dad's face every time I swore and just laugh. He always came to the house to watch the parade with his grandkids. I don't believe he ever missed a Remembrance Day Ceremony in Crossfield, Alberta. He loved the small town life and sense of community. My condolences to the family that such a wonderful man has left us too soon. Cherish his memoires. I believe that his light will be shining over you and keeping you safe. Hugs and God Bless!

Jennifer and family, my heart goes out to you all. I remember the first time I met John, it was my first Christmas at SAIT. My husband, Ed, and I joined your table and the rest of the night was a ruckus of laughter. We felt right at home. Praying for peace and comfort as you walk through grief.

Dear Jennifer, My heart is breaking for you all. I know that John will be with Brian and watching over you, Lisa and Caleb and Lily (and of course much loved Nemo). I know he was your life mate and there was always such fun banter going on between you both.
I have a special memory of a bunch of us making brunch at Ronald McDonald house a few years back, you, John, Sandra, Chuck, Stephannee, Brian, Mo and me. The day flew by and we had lots of fun. John seemed to enjoy hanging out in the kitchen with all of us girls bossing all the guys around.
When you and I were on facetime or just the phone, he joined in with us for our chats and always had something fun to add. I'll miss saying my "Bye John" to him knowing he was there in the background every time you and I ended our calls. Sending love and wishing you were closer to all of us out here in the west. Big hugs, Love Gail xo

I have no words. I am so sorry and I loved you so much. You and Auntie Jenn taught me so much over the years and were perfect examples for me and my sister growing up. I wish I was able to sit down and have a coffee and just bullshit with you uncle john. I just wish I was able to say goodbye. Rest easy and I know youre watching everyone. You were an amazing man with the brightest of spirits. Love you

Jen, I've been struggling to find any words. John was one of my best friends, even when he annoyed the shit out of me. He always had mischief in his eyes, a laugh straight out of a Deputy Dawg cartoon, and always tried to get me into his money making ideas. But under it all, he was a man of integrity and generosity and he absolutely loved his family, including Nemo. I will truly miss him.
Love you,
Chuck

I didn’t know John just in meeting, I worked with Jennifer for many years and enjoyed the things she said about John. She always spoke so highly of him and you could tell the total respect she had for him by her words, They were close to Brian and I so understand them moving back east to be nearer Lisa and the grandkids. Jennifer is very much a family person. Jennifer, I am so sorry for your loss. Please pass on my regards to Lisa .

Jennifer,
My heart aches for you, and all the family at this time. I wish I was closer to give you a big hug and my shoulders to cry on. John will always be a bright light that will live on in all our hearts. John was a loving, caring husband, father, father in law, grandfather, son in law, brother in law and friend. I will always cherish the many memories I have of John. He was always there for anyone. He was always so giving and caring, kind person and ready to help anyone. John is at peace now. I will always miss the calls from John and the jabs he would give me about the Habs. You will be missed my friend until we meet again.
