JOHN MCGEACHY

Condolences & Memories (12 entries)

• John was a lifelong friend and we had many great memories over the years. He was passionate about the things he was interested in and always gave 100% on anything he did. This enthusiasm for life was uplifting and really rubbed off on the people around him. You will be greatly missed Squeege. - Posted by: doug sprague (friend) on: Jan 21, 2015

• I met John when I went to a Labour Day Classic Party one year. I was amazed at all his sports collection. He was such a nice easy going person and I really enjoyed the times I went to either the Labour Day Classic or Super Bowl party. I was one of the few who enjoyed the Bombers getting creamed which he liked too. He renewed my interest in football so much now that I'm addicted to the NFL games. Life will be different without John here and Tyndall will be not the same with all that he had done. He will be remember by all that he had met and be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this time. - Posted by: Janis Myslichuk (Friend) on: Jan 17, 2015

• John was a unique, funny, wonderful guy. Those of us that hung around with John, starting at John Taylor Collegiate, always called him "Squeegy", the nickname just stuck. This was his nature, he just took this in stride, like he always did. I never once heard him complain or protest about it, although his friends in Tyndall must have wondered why these people were calling him by this absurd name? John was such a marvelous guy, and that's so evident with the huge circle of friends who love him and miss him so much! Condolences to Linda and his family. We will all keep John in our hearts. Farewell my friend. - Posted by: Doug McCartney (Friend) on: Jan 14, 2015

• Our community has truly lost a great man. Always willing to give a hand whenever there was a need. Especially this past year when John spear headed the Tin For The Bin, while being ill, John made this year's food drive the best ever. You did really make Tyndall a better place to live. You will always be in our hearts. - Posted by: Peter Swirski (friend of the family) on: Jan 12, 2015

• My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. Sadly we weren't able to see each other much due to distance. I'm so happy I was able to see you when I was in Winnipeg though under sad circumstances. It was so nice to be able to sit and talk with you, share some memories and some laughter. You were a kind, gentle man. You will be missed. - Posted by: Heather StLaurent (Cousin) on: Jan 10, 2015

• Our hearts go out to your family and friends for the emptiness they will feel without you. Sadly distance and busy lifestyles have kept us from being part of each others lives but you have often been thought of when talking about our trips back to Winnipeg and the visits your family had in B.C. May you rest in peace. Love Auntie Nancy, Barry, Ron, Bev, Roselyn, Gloria and families. - Posted by: Nancy Blake (Aunt) on: Jan 08, 2015

• John we will miss you dearly, along with your quick wit. You were always around when people needed you and have done a great job on the leadership of the Tyndall Eagles arie 3386. Your biggest cause was for the Beausejour and area food bank where the whole community benefited? You are an inspiration to all you friends who loved you so much. See you in the labor day party in the heavens above! - Posted by: Lynne Champagne (Friend) on: Jan 08, 2015

• I'm deeply saddened by John's passing. John had the biggest heart of anyone I know. We could go long periods of time but always seemed to have a special bond. I'll always have great memories of our childhood and of the fun and laughter at his annual parties. John loved his family, his friends and his huge parties. He had tremendous joy in adding different buildings and things in the back yard, for all to enjoy. Whenever he had a new addition I'd ask him what it was and he wouldn't tell me, would say I'd have to go visit and see for myself. He loved entertaining his friends. I never saw him without a smile on his face. I will really miss you cuz. Fly with the Angels and show them what fun really is. R.I.P Love always - Posted by: Kim Surrette (Cousin) on: Jan 08, 2015

• John was my best friend. He was always the first guy to come help a friend out. And he was the last to leave if he gave you his word he'll be there. He was a man we could all look up to. Oh what a better world it would be if we could even be just a little like John McGeachy. He was so devoted to his family, friends, and the community. He really understood the concept of helping people. The true gift of helping, is that you helped. No payback, no return. Just help. I lost my best friend, my brother Eagle, and my President. But sad as I am, I will forge on, and I will strive to be more like John McGeachy. So that his legacy will live on. I truly miss you my friend. Please get that Tiki bar ready in heaven, so that one day we will meet again. - Posted by: Dave Hebert (Friend) on: Jan 08, 2015
