Condolences

Condolence From: Barbara-Anne Patterson
Condolence: John was the G.M. at Bailey's Balloon Brigade when I worked with him. We had the greatest team of employees all led by this wonderful, happy, generous man. I will never forget his 'Brunch[es] with Bach' and his laugh was one that would make you laugh as well! I will miss you John. R.I.P.

Condolence: Condolences to John's family. I have fond memories of my days at McDonald's (Simcoe & Taunton) where John was a manager in the 70's.
John was the first person who interviewed me for a job. He was always fair to his employees and had great fun initiating newbies. I helped distribute flyers for his first run at an Oshawa city council position.
I always wondered what John was up to after those early days and it appears he lead a full life.

Condolence: John was a kind and honest man who mentored generations of mess stewards, many of whom went on to great success in the lives. He will be sorely missed.

Condolence: To Ruth, Bob, Jim and families: lots of great memories from the early days of our families spending Christmas mornings together and summer get-togethers.
The last time that I visited John at the Officers' Mess, we had a few laughs about the past. His humour was always priceless. He still referred to my Mom and Dad as Aunt Ruth and Uncle Bob. Now, they, along with his Dad, Alec, welcome him home.
So well respected in the community, he will be missed by many.

Condolence From: Joy and Gord McRae and family
Condolence: John, you steered us through 2 wedding receptions and several bridal showers. On your watch we had many happy times in the Officers Mess at dinners and seasonal celebrations. To your credit the stewards who served us did so with class and impeccable attention to detail. Thank you for your friendship through the years. At our son Tim's wedding you did double duty....Mess Manager and Best Man. A title that suites you to a "T". Can't imagine the Mess without you.
Here's to a Life Well Lived.
