Condolence: A shock of John's sudden passing indeed, has hit us all! Gone too soon. Truly John's legacy will be his gifts of humour, steadfastness and generosity to friends and family. We can recall his chiding of us followed by laughter, John setting the pace both in terms of frequency and volume! He will be missed for sure. I am sure John has been received with "Well done good and faithful servant!"
