So long my friend. We have travelled a long way, Pioneer Camps to week-ends from Welland to living in my parent’s home. To Dofasco. Marriages, houses, then children. Now lots of Grandchildren. For an only child you have a large family!
You know it is all because you found the girl that I told you was too young for you. Donna is the best thing that ever happened to you. Not many people can say they have had true friends for 63 years.
I will miss you.
Very sorry for your loss. We will always think of John with a smile on his face. We are glad that we were able to visit with him last summer. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
So very sorry for your loss, Donna and family . We have lost a great neighbour and friend, The Mayor of Little John.
