We knew John as a very young lad when he lived beside us with his parents on Lewis Avenue many years ago. My sister and I had an accidental meeting with him at Costco a few years ago and it was wonderful to see him and chat after so many years. Such a lovely soul. God Bless and condolences to his family.

I worked with John in the Dairy industry. His passing broke my heart as I know his family is also much more broken. His kindness, non judgmental, happy demeanor, always! I will forever remember him for his great abundance of life and love. He truly left his mark on those he knew❤️
