I want to send my condolences to the family….. may he rest in peace…..
All my sympathy to Douglas Robert and David and family. May he rest in peace.
Even though we haven’t seen each other in close to 10 years, its hard to believe Uncle John is gone. He was always the easy going uncle, who tried new things, and loved to joke around with his boys. I’ll always have my own childhood memories of him. I’m sorry we lived far apart, and my heart will always be with the Johnsons – prayers to my cousins, Doug, Rob, Dave, their families and to Aunty Lise. May we take a deep breath, pause and hold onto our memories. I’m sorry my kids never had a chance to meet him.
I am sad and shocked to hear about John. He was a good friend. Throughout my childhood, I saw him every day when he drove his bus to and from school. He also made the best hamburgers at the grocery store. He will be so missed!
