Dear Micheline and Family,
It is with great sadness that we are writing this after you told us of John's passing.
At the same time it immediately brought back memories of the many times we had spent together.
Tony met John many years ago in Sale England and formed a friendship that lasted, despite living far apart.
So strong was this bond that when are son Michael was born in 1965 that we asked John to be his godfather which he was honoured to accept, albeit by proxy.
When our two families met, either in Canada or here in England it was as if we had only spoken last week. That is surely a sign of lasting friendship and a deep respect for each other.
We can recall many times sat round a table enjoying a meal and and a conversation. It was obvious that John and Micheline just loved these times. Micheline chatting and John smiling 'yes dear'. It was easy to see that they had a perfect understanding of each other.
John had an interesting life in business, always striving to provide a happy home and security for the future. It was as a husband, father and grandfather that John was at his most content, he loved all his family.
We will always remember John as a kind and gentle man.
Love and God bless,
Tony and Chris.
