Was so saddened to hear that John/Jack had passed. We had a friendship that stood the test of time and distance.
I met him at his niece Carol's house in 1973 and remember how handsome and charming he was. I learned that very first meeting, he had a brain that clicked over very fast, and was a Devil with a huge sense of humour.
He was an amazing man and friend that helped me more than once over the years when I was raising my young children and always did so in a very quiet way so as not to injure my pride.
I will miss the almost daily emails he sent, as they were the only personal ones I received, because he didn't care for Social Media.
The visits to his beautiful cottage in Coboconk in early years, then the quarry in Kirkland will always be special memories to me.
He had a love for dogs, and had beautiful, well trained ones, had a special place in his heart for his family and close friends.
John was a unique man, who lived his life the way He wanted, with no apologies, guilt or regrets.
May we honor his memory by speaking of him often.
YOU WILL BE MISSED JOHN!
Love ya
Pamela
