Condolences
I was very shocked and saddened to learn John suddenly passed away recently.
My heartfelt condolences to Eileen, Chelsea and Graham.
I played soccer (footy) with John - good player!
The best times were the banter between us. John a Chelsea fan and me a Liverpool fan.
You”ll Never Walk Alone mate.

Best memory with John was riding motorcycles to Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea play (1976). Was always a joy to be with. RIP old buddy.
I had the pleasure and privilege to meet John and his parents in May of 1981, at their residence in London. I was traveling over there with the Henson family. John and I hit it off really good, right off the bat. He then nicknamed me Frenchie and every time we met again, he'd say " hey Frenchie, how are you doin' mate? John was quite the character, always full of energy, enthusiasm and positivity. He always lit up the room when he was around.
Eileen, Chelsea and Graham, please accept my deepest condolences in this very difficult time. He may be gone, but will always be remembered for being a great human being!
Sincerely, Simon Gingras

One of favourite memories of Fish came shortly after I was I informally accepted as a member of the “Lads Club”. He was wearing his “crombie” coat and looking rather dashing actually…Fish shook my hand and called me a “chap”!. I’ve never forgotten that.
Fish was class act and exceptional gentleman. I’ll miss you lad.

John was hands down my most favorite soccer coach I have ever had. He was so supportive, kind and encouraging. He was the type of coach that you wanted to work hard for. I will always remember the influence that John had on my game. He will be so greatly missed. My sincere condolences to you Eileen, Chelsea and Graham.

Eileen and family, my sincere condolences on the loss of John. I had the privilege of being coached by him and he was a passionate pioneer in grassroots women’s soccer. Our soccer community owes him a debt of gratitude.

Eileen, Chelsea and Graham, sincere apologies for not being available and condolences. I’m in Scotland visiting family. I’ll be sure to watch the Service on line. John was a good friend to all of us at Lads Club and gave his time in support of Calgary Soccer. He’ll be sadly missed.
John and I bonded as cousins, yet we were friends; and the most beautiful discovery is that we all can grow separately, without ever growing apart....
And for Eileen, Chelsea and Graham our sincere condolences and those beautiful memories of how John "LIVED His Life".
If John lived with Encouragement, we learnt to be Confident.
If John lived with Praise, we learnt to Appreciate.
If John lived with Approval, we learnt to like Ourselves.
If John lived with Acceptance, we learnt to find Love in this World.
If John lived with Recognition, we learnt to have a Goal.
If John lived with Sharing, we learnt to be Generous.
If John lived with Honesty and Fairness, we learnt what Truth and Justice are.
If John lived with Security, we learnt to have Faith in Ourselves and ALL those that are Around Us.
We will miss you, John

I want to express my heartfelt condolences to you, Eileen, as well as, your daughter Chelsea and son Graham on the sudden loss of John in Italy. I was in Italy at the same time and wish I had seen you both. John was a kind, caring, fun loving man who I really enjoyed playing for when we went to the World Games in Torino in 2014 I believe it was. No words can express how much he will be missed by you and your friends. God bless. Honor Haverstock
So sorry for your loss Eileen. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. ❤️
Eileen, Chelsea and Graham
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. As we all know John was an instrumental soccer leader here in Calgary and Alberta. He will be sorely missed by everyone.
Rest in Peace John!

My deepest condolences to Eileen, Chelsea and Graham. John was an amazing, caring and giving person and will be missed by many people. Have many fond memories of John coaching us to a gold medal at the World Masters Games in Italy in 2013 and a bronze medal at the World Masters Games in New Zealand in 2017. Will never forget our celebration dinners! He will be missed!
My deepest sympathy to Eileen, Chelsea and Graham❤️May happy memories of John sustain you all in the days ahead. I have happy memories of John coaching us at the Masters Games in New Zealand in 2017. I loved his energy, dry humour, and zest for life. He will be missed❤️
My sincere condolences to Eileen, Chelsea and Graham. John was an amazing person and coach. He was such a positive influence on me starting from the Classics to many tournaments, I always loved what he had to say. The fundraising parties we had for the world masters tournaments were so fun and we especially enjoyed dancing with John, who was a great dancer! The idea of donating to kidsport is brilliant and could not be more fitting. Love to the Fishers-Maddie
