Dear Liscombe Family,

My deepest condolences go out to you & the immediate family. I have been a patient of John’s for over 30 years & was totally shocked to see this when I was actually too lazy to look in my purse for his office number… I haven’t asked about John the past few times I’ve been in which is really unusual for me not to do. I was a patient of Tom’s when I was in Nanton & when I moved up here to Calgary, Tom actually gave John’s name… George used to be in the office once in awhile when John was either away at a seminar or off on a business trip. I will miss my friend as he was a genuine good guy & he cared about everyone who passed through his life. He was always in good spirits even when he wasn’t feeling up to par….. The only time I actually ever saw him annoyed was when I showed up for a treatment after not coming for 4 years…. Boy I decided from that time on I would never do that again… & I haven’t.

I hope that all these messages will give you comfort in knowing that John will be deeply missed & that everyone loved him dearly.

Sincerely,

Adell

We were saddened to hear of the passing of the Doc. You are great nieghbors at the lake and the Doc will be missed. Please let me know if you need anything.

Sincerely

Richard and Maria

Morag,

You do not know me I was a friend of John`s in public school and early high

school. My heart felt condolences to you and the rest of John`s family in this

difficult time. Tom might remember me, George was just a baby. John and I had some great times playing hocky and just spending time together. There will always be a warm spot in my mind for him.

Mike Royle

We are so sorry for your loss. As former patients of his, we will always remember his positive attitude. A life well lived!

Morag and family: We are shocked, sad and very happy: Shocked at the news of John’s demise and so sad that he is gone at this early age. Happy that we had that memorable visit with all of you last August. Our thoughts are with you every day. Love, Morgan and Joan.

Liscombe Family,

Praying for you and keeping you in my thoughts.

Words will never be able to express the love and respect that I had for John.

To Morag

We were really shocked to to read the news of John’s death. We’ve always thought of you as the younger part of our family group. Please accept our sincere condolences on your loss, and give you the strength to go on from this point. I am sure you will get good support from your friends and family, Just wish we could be there for you. Love Joan & Doug

My deepest sympathy to the family of Doc Liscombe. I was a patient of Dr. Liscombes for the past several years and found him to be a really great chiropractor and a really nice man. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

Morag,

Sitting here at work today thinking of all the great times we’ve had with you and Doc both in Hawaii and here in Wisconsin. It’s not very often you meet great people like you guys that you see only once or twice a year but yet connect again like it was just yesterday. We are so blessed to have you and Doc in our lives. Know that you and all the family are in our thoughts and prayers today as you say your goodbyes to a wonderful man. Love you guys and we’ll be in touch. Pam and Kenny

We are so sorry for your loss. Doc was a great neighbor, a really neat guy and it was an honor to have known him.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of John. He will be truly missed. John is loved by many. Thinking about John brings a smile to our faces, he was just that kind of guy. Our love and prayers are with the family.

Joe & Lindsay Steinhouser

We are so sorry for your loss. It was great to read all about John. He sounded like he truly loved life and touched many lives. I still remember that smile. (without the moustache of course) I also remember that he worked on cars. I seem to remember fondly a ride in a bright yellow dune buggy. Was that with John or Tom? I can’t remember. I feel like he taught me how to ride a bike by running alongside me in the Liscombe backyard. I didn’t know his middle name was Robert. I assume that was after my dad. For my dad, all of the Liscombe boys were his boys. (especially since he didn’t have any of his own.) We are very sorry for the entire family. We hope that you have many memories to comfort you. Know also that your family in Ontario is lifting you up in prayer.

Lori

Dear Morag,

It was a shock to hear of John’s passing. We have so many wonderful memories of him. He and Gary always enjoyed their ‘special board meetings’ together. We pray with full confidence that Our Lord will sustain you in the midst of your loss and throughout the many days ahead.

All Our Love, Gary and Lois

Dear Morag, George, Jody & family

– We are extremely sorry to hear of John’s passing. Our thoughts are with all of you at this sad time.

Brian, Howard and all the staff

We were saddened to learn of John’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Morag. We pray for the peace of God to comfort you in this time.

Morag and Family,

We would like to express with deep sympathy in your loss of a great man. Doc was one in a million. We are so sorry for the sudden loss and would like to extend our prayers and thoughts to you. Mark and I are thank-ful for the visit we made (and wished there were many more) when we stopped at your lake-side home. Our boys, John and Riley talk about your place to this day. We will miss Doc tremendously and did not know til lately that his first name is John…as we always have known him as Doc….a kind man and always willing to help others. We will always love him and miss him. Take care Morag….may God, family and friends be with you at this difficult time. Mark, Tami, John and Riley Sanderson xoox

Dear Morag & The Liscombe Family,

You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I will always treasure the special memories I have of John and his passion for cars, racing and just what a wonderful friend he was. Glenna Campbell

It is with great regret that I leave my condolences today. When I first came to see Doc, my body was constantly in pain with Fibromyalgia. After a very short period of time, I was feeling so much better, and was able to resume an almost normal life. I was very greatful to not only Doc’s expertise but him as a person. All of our family has visited Doc over the last several years and enjoyed seeing him just for the visit, let alone the great care he provided. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, staff and colleagues as you celebrate Doc’s life today.

With greatest sympathy,

The Beach Family

Morag my love & condolences to you & Johns’ family. It was a real shock as I’m not living in town so my parents called to tell me. They also send their love. I had no idea that John was even sick. I’m not in to work now so I haven’t talked to John & Kim for a month. If you need anything you know we’ll be there, but our spirit is there for you always. We think of you often. Bonnie & family

Only a few people know the following true story (my wife Kathy, Morag, and a few hotel staff): John and I were teaching an Activator seminar in Calgary about 20 to 25 years ago. The hotel had set up the coffee service in an area that we did not want it to be. Rather than have the hotel staff move the coffee service, John and I took it upon ourselves to move a table stacked with a couple of hundred coffee cups and saucers to a different location. So I got on one end of the table and turned my back to it so that I could lift it and walk forward, while John took the other end of the table. We lifted it carefully and began walking with it. All of a sudden I hear John say (in his Canadian accent muffled by his moustache), Oh No!! This was quickly followed by the crashing sound of a couple of hundred cups and saucers onto a tile floor. You see, the skirt on the table was long and John’s foot stepped on it. As we kept moving it pulled the cups off of the table. That pretty well ended any aspirations that we might have had of working in a hotel.

I will miss the walks on the beach in Hawaii with John. Even though we only were there a few times when he and Morag were there, we always wanted to return each year but couldn’t because of other committments.

John and I were the same age but he was much wiser than me. He knew how to enjoy life and let troubles roll off of his back. I always felt more relaxed and enjoyed life more when I was around him. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Dr. Jim Gudgel

Dear Morag,

I am very sorry for your loss. Remembering the times we had together brings a smile every time. John was a truly a special person and I am very grateful for knowing him.

Life isn’t fair sometimes. The good often go earlier than they are supposed to and Doc was one of the best. I’ll miss the Friday afternoons and the other times we met, Doc always seemed positive and happy and it rubbed off. Say Hi to Cathy for me Doc. She always liked that moustasche of yours…and to the family, you will miss him for a long time, forever but try and find comfort in friends and you will get through it, friends are there for you.

Dear Morag, Tom, George & Family:

Larry Lewin, Lynn, Kathy, Wendy & Lawrence wish to extend our sincere sympathy to you all upon the loss of John. We are sure you have many many fond memories of John to hold close in your hearts. We shall never forget the many shared times the Liscombe and Lewin families shared in Smoke Lake, Honey Harbour and on the rinks your Dad made on Flora St. Dad enjoyed hearing from John each year when he would update him on the comings and goings of the Liscombe family!!! We will be thinking of you and keeping you in our hearts and prayers.

Love, Larry & Family

Morag I cannot tell you how sorry I am. John will totally be missed by all who knew him…you can tell by all the messages here that of course he was much beloved. You are in my thoughts during this tough time. Only Time will help to ease the hurt. Take Care Morag and I will be in touch.

Lar.

Dear Morag, George and family, Tom and Family

I was saddened to hear of Doc’s passing. I am presently away in England on a holiday and will therefore be unable to attend the service on Friday but please know that you will be on my mind now and in the coming days. I worked for Doc for over 10 years and although it has been some time since then we remained friends as well as myself and family patients at the office, Doc was a compassionate man and very enthusiastic about his hobbies both at the garage and at the “ranch” in Little Bow! It was always fun to hear of his experiences,…,like the boat sinking! I am certain there are so many people with many memories and thoughts of their times with him. May you know that he will be missed by those who were friends, family and patients. My sympathy to you all. Joyce Frame (Keith, Shannon and Heather)

Our deepest sympathy to Morag and the Liscombe family for their loss. John was a wonderful person who’s friendship and kindness will be in our memory always. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Thinking of your family during this time of sorrow and extending our most sincere and heartful sympathy to the entire Liscombe family.

Dear Morag and all the Liscome family

We can’t express to you enough our sympathy over your loss of the infamous drag racing “Doc Liscome”. Drag racing was a big part of our lives and albeit that it is behind us now, we have so many super memories. Morag,although we haven’t seen you for a long time we certainly haven’t forgotten you and Doc. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time and know that Doc is watching over you when he’s not racing on that race strip in the sky. Our sincerest condolences to you and the family.

Debbie and Lorne Hanson

Morag and the Liscombe family,

Susan and I send our sincerest condolences on the loss of Doc. For the many years I played with the Bucs he was the life of the dressing room and provided for many great memories, both on and off the ice. The gatherings at the lake were also a special time for our children and they really enjoyed his hospitality. I am honoured to have been a friend of Docs and he will always be remembered in the fondest of ways. You and the rest of us have lost a dear friend far too soon.

Bryant and Susan Petkau

To the Liscombe family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of a great influence in my life. From the first visit at the age of 14, when it seemed that all hope was lost, Doc Liscombe provided me with the ability to continue to play hockey. Because of this, I am filled with great life experiences and many fond memories. His passion for his profession and his willingness to help others was influencial in me following in his footsteps. He will always be remembered.

Dr. Tony Gareau

Morag,

I am very saddened to hear of Doc’s passing. We shared a lot of good times together over the years. My thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. May you find comfort in the coming days in all of the special memories that you have shared and made together throughout the years.

With deepest sympathy Linda.

Rest in peace Doc. And thanks for all the games of Jenga .

My deepest sympathy Morag . We will all miss Doc a lot ……….

Shawn .

Dr. Tom and Shirley Liscombe and family

We are so sorry for your loss and please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love from Shirley and Jim Hitchner

When John was in the hopital I called, we talked and we prayed. John was in a good spirit. He was looking forward to go home. Home was heaven for John. I have wonderful memories of John. He always gave me hard time about the french and had an imitation of Pierre with his mustache. He made me laugh and it was always a pleasure to meet him at Activator Seminars. My prayers are with you. Michele

Dear Morag,

My sincere condolences to you and your family on the untimely passing of John. I first met John in grade 13 at the G.C.I. when I returned to school after a tour in the Navy; consequently we became fairly good friends at that time. John and I spoke a couple times at the G.C.I. reunion in 2002. It was great to reminisce.

With deep sympathy,

John

Pat & I are so grateful for the unconditional love & support he provided for us all through the years. Although he was a “friend to many” he had the ability to make you feel like you were number 1.

Jo-Anne & Pat

My condolences to you Morag and to all your family. I know how much he will be missed by all of you. Doc always had a quick hello and a smile for everyone. He was our Friday hockey leader, the glue that kept us together all these years and we shall miss him. I hope there is a shop and a rink in heaven.

My fond memories of John go back to our school days as classmates in Galt at Manchester, Lincoln and GCI. I’m saddened to hear of his passing and wish to express my sincere condolences to Morag and family.

Rick Reid

Our deepest Sympathy goes out to DR. Liscombe’s Family, he will be missed by All, he was a Great DR. He helped a lot of People feel better, just his ready Smile made You feel good.

You will be in our Prayers, God be with You All.

Alfred & Edith Jakob

Morag, our deepest condolences on the loss of John to you and the entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May you take comfort in the love you shared and the memories of your life together. God Bless John.

Cousin

Frank, Diane, Jacalyn and Christine Caswell (Whitby, ON)

We were so sorry to hear of John’s illness and now your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

We will miss you.

With deepest regret, we express our sorrow in the passing of our dear friend, Doc. He lived a “great” and “large” life in the context of human kindness. It was a pleasure to have known him.

John and Margo

Dear Morag,

Donna and I were very sorry to hear of the passing of John. He was a great guy full of life and always fun to be around. It was our honor to be able to work with him over the years at the Activator seminars. He will be missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and his family at this difficult time.

Tom and Donna De Vita

Dear Morag,

Our hearts are heavy with sorrow at John’s passing. I’m so glad that I was able to speak with him a few weeks ago and hear his uplifting voice. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories of the “good old days” of Activator and Hawaii and fun times that we shared. So much has changed since then and it was great to hear a familiar voice and to hear the optimism he had. I feel sure that he is in heaven and he seemed at peace with God. I know this will be a difficult time now finding the “new normal” and you will be in our thoughts and prayers as you navigate these uncharted waters.

Much love and hugs to all,

Lou, Krista, Samuel & Rachel Price, Alexandria, VA

Dear Morag, Tom & Shirley, George & Jody, Travis & Lisa and especially Amy &

Mike,

We extend to all of you sympathy on the transition from Earth to Everlasting of a #1 husband, brother (including in-law) and notably uncle. Many will attest also to his status as a #1 friend, caring and sharing a sense of fraternity uniquely Doc. As a former teammate (pre #8) and classmate, he is unsurpassed among peers and esteemed; we liked him because he made great sense and liked us back. Advice given to Mike by Uncle John applies singularly and forever as a tribute to both. We all benefit by keeping our eyes on the road and a smile in our eyes and visage. We remember a friend who played the game fairly and squarely and earnestly and with a keen sense of fun. Truly, there is no one finer to share a beer with anymore and saddened that our Happy Hours together only lasted 50 years.

Our love and admiration,

Anne & Ron

Dear Morag and family- please accept my sincere smypathy in the passing of John – I have been one of his patients since he opened in Bonavista and he went above and beyond when he got me through the funeral service of my husband in 1998 by coming to the funeral home and giving me a treatment as my back had gone out. He helped a lot of people through the years and will be missed by many – Shirley Clare

Jennifer and I offer our highly inadequate condolences to Morag and the entire Liscombe clan.

Also, to all the friends who were mutually shared who will feel the loss and reflect, each in his/her own way as to how John touched their lives. John will be sadly missed as lovely man, who shared his enthusiasm and sincerity openly. I was fortunate to have known him and our last two meetings, at the GCI Reunion and our Grade 9 luncheon, will be memories I cherish always. The world was a better place with him, the man who grew up on street with a tree growing in the middle of it. How fitting to have a memorial tree planted in his honour.

Jamie and Jennifer Leith

I thank Jesus that I had A special Friend Doc who showed me what giving is all about. He’s helped so many and his name in our memory will honour him for a long time to come.

Love and blessings…..Carl

“Doc” We will miss your friendliness.

Gail and I have all the memories of all the good times the four of us had together and we will cherish them forever. I have very special memories playing “BUC” hockey with Doc # 8 and all the good times we had hunting and boating down at “the lake”. Doc was a “no nonense” type of guy and I really admired that in him. Doc will be sadly missed by Gail and Old “BUC” #3!

Our prayers and best wishes are with you at this time of transition. John was a fellow doctor who I had much respect for. He gave so much to the profession and Activator. He will be missed.

Dear Morag,

I am so sorry to hear of John’s passing. I have such fond memories of times spent with both of you.

With love,

Dennis

Dear Morag,

I’m sorry to learn of John’s passing and can only imagine the loss that you are exeriencing. As you know, John was an incredible person and truly a joy to be around. Not only was he a great clinician and instructor, he was the life of the party. I always enjoyed his insights and enthusiasm for Canadian chiropractic and his fantastic stories. I’ll never forget him telling the story of your bus trip in Europe. I reminded him of that when we had dinner together a couple years ago with you in Calgary to his gleaming smile. Without question, he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Best regards,

Chris Colloca, DC

I will miss John. I loved his ready smile and straight forward style. He was an asset to Activator Methods and the chiropractic profession. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…

Dear Morag,

We were saddened to learn of John’s passing. Please know our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Dr. Ed and Mary Anne Galvin

Morag our deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and all of your family. Keeping you in our hearts and prayers

Brenda, Doug, James and Laurie.

My sincere condolences to Morag and all of the family. It was always great to see John at the Activator seminars. Always with a smile and full of jokes. I already miss him a lot.

Our hearts go out to you at this very difficult time. Doc will be greatly missed by all our family and the many people he came in contact with. We have so many great memories of all the time we spent together over the years. Doc will be remembered with love by all of us. Morag, if you need anything let us know. I hope that all the memories of all the wonderful times you shared will somehow ease your sorrow. All our love and thoughts are with you. Maggie, Lorn and Chris
