It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of our friend John. He liked to be the photographer at family events and we will always remember the good times we spent together. Our deepest condolences to Marilyn and his family. Paul and Rachelle
Marilyn and Family. Having recently lost my mom I know the extreme pain and loss you are all dealing with right now. I hope it helps that so many are sharing your grief and thinking about you at this time. Your husband/father/brother/grandpa/friend, sounds like he was a wonderful person that I would have liked to get to know. I hope in time you can share happy stories that will keep his memory in your hearts.
Ryan, Isabelle, Audrey, Noémie, Élise, and family,
We are very sorry to hear about John’s death. We only had a few opportunities to meet him but he was very friendly and we saw how you are family. Please accept our deepest condolences.
