Condolences

My heart goes out to John's family during this difficult time. He will always be remembered as one of my favourite uncles. Kind, gentle, fun-loving and caring are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Uncle John. I am overcome with great sadness at his passing. In his memory, I posted a picture I took of him at the cottage Sept 05, on my Facebook. Rest in peace, John.
