My sincere condolences to Paula, Jack, Doreen and families. I am very glad to have spent time with John over the last few years when I visited Calgary.

Paula and Marshall,

Please accept our sincerest condolences. John was a most kind and caring individual, very gentle with a great sense of humor. Laughter came easily to John.

Our thoughts are with you especially Paula.

Cheri, Brent, Vera and family
