When John came in to Tim Hortons and he saw you, sometimes he would come over to your table and tell a story on something that happened years ago. When he was telling you a story his blue eyes would light up. We enjoyed John and miss him. Our condolences to the family. - Posted by: Ed & Carole Trudeau (friend) on: Apr 13, 2013
