John and I were good friends in the late 1980s. We had many adventures together which included many flying excursions. We flew to several northern remote communities to sell Kentucky Fried Chicken. John was a very industrious fellow. We flew from Winnipeg to Victoria, BC in a Cessna 172. While there for a couple of weeks, we flew around the island, into Vancouver and to Seattle. That was an adventure of a lifetime. Thank you John! I left Winnipeg in the early 1990s and John and I lost touch with each other. A few days ago I decided to reach out to John, just say hi. I was quite surprised and very saddened to find an obituary from more than a decade ago. I sincerely wish that I would have reached out sooner. My condolences to his family. - Posted by: Jack Koreluik (Friend) on: Aug 20, 2022

I went to high school with John and he was a very good friend. When I was about 14 years-old, John helped me get my very first job ever. He was a very kind person with a great sense of humor. Prayers for John's family. - Posted by: Don Clark (Friend) on: Jan 14, 2012

So sorry to hear of John's passing. John and I were childhood friends growing up in Dauphin. We shared many enjoyable moments together in school, birthday parties and playing on the streets of Dauphin in the 60's. Best wishes to John's family. - Posted by: Larry Worobey (Childhood friend) on: Jan 14, 2012
