I only today learned of John's passing. I worked closely with John over a few years in the 1970s, part of my own 38 years with CRA. I had the privilege of travelling a few times with John for our work and I can say it was rare to meet anyone as humble and kind as he was, calm regardless of the circumstances. He taught me all I ever needed to know about Lombardy poplars! His wisdom and spirituality were inspiring! - Posted by: Robert Way (Work colleague) on: Aug 28, 2021

I was so sorry to hear about John's passing from Martha (Mert) last evening. It was such a pleasure to see you both at Elden's memorial service last summer. 63 years married what a great time you must have had, we are reaching 56 and hope for many more. - Posted by: Irma & Jamie MacDonald (friends) on: Jul 23, 2013

Aunt Helen, I am so sorry that time has passed this way, that John has been taken from you, your children and your grandchildren Pascual only met Uncle John at a family gathering and the weddings last year, and has asked that I send our sincere condolences.. Though we cannot attend the services on Friday ..at the appropriate time here in Santiago, we will go to the Cathedral Mercede near us and offer our prayers for you and yours and John's families .. heaven knows John does not need more he rests now .. I never really believed in the power of prayer, but my positive experiences here in Chile with Pascual,have given me solace, support, and belief. God rest uncle John God bless and support you May you find peace at this turbulent time John Reimer-Dorratt & Pascual Saezn - Posted by: John Reimer-Dorratt (previously married to John and Helen's neice Brenda Reimer) on: Jul 09, 2013
