I am very saddened at the loss of JPO, my father in law of over 37 years. Our relationship was always like father and son. We had so much in common and enjoyed each others company throughout the years. Nancy and I miss him very much, but rejoice that he is finally at rest with his loving wife Betty, sons John and Mark, and his parents. God Bless you John.
Thank you Marika.
Mom.
My condolences Anna. I know how much time you have spent with John and everything you have done for him. May he rest in peace.
Thank you Bob and Cherie . John was very fond of you and your friendship.
Rest in peace to my Grandpa. I will miss your witty sense of humour and your spirited charm. I am grateful for the time we had together. You will always be in our hearts.
Miss Rebekah,
You always made grandpa chuckle and he especially enjoyed your guitar playing and singing to him during his time in the retirement home and nursing home! He truly loved your spirit! Said you were a real character. He really loved you taking him outdoors for fresh air and visits also!
Thinking about you and wishing you comfort .

Thank you Gottfried & Ilse for your kind condolences .
His love for me never faltered nor mine for him. I was by his side everyday and nights too. Although he had a wheel chair made especially for him, he was not comfortable for long in it.The Retirement home and Nursing-home became like my second home.
He took a piece of my heart when he left.
RIP my love .
You were the love of my life like I was yours . You always will be in my heart with beautiful memories we had created.♥️
John was quite an outdoors man and loved to sail on Lake Ontario. I will always remember his sailing lessons and getting to be the second mate with Nancy. We enjoyed many sails with Captain John and the smiling sweet Betty. Sailing and being on the water provided that sense of fun, adventure and freedom for them! Natalie, Jackie and Rebekah have been able to continue that tradition with Nancy and Mark with that love of water inspired by JP. Peaceful waters John, sail on! ⛵️
Dear Nancy & Matt – Although it has been years since we all sailed together, those times were so very special and will always hold a cherished memory for us. Just learned of John’s passing this afternoon so Dick and I send our sincerest condolences to you and your families. John was a delightful fellow and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Sending much love your way. Dick & Kay Loek
Sending love and hugs to you and the entire Oreskovich clan.
Nancy and family … we are so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. We are thinking of you all, sending healing strength and love!
