My uncle John was a kind and generous individual. Although we never got to see each other as often as we should have, I will always remember the family visits, golf excursions in Ottawa and the occasional phone call, as special times in my life. John always had an interest in what was happening in my family life. He was always interested in what Marianne and I, our children (Karri, Lianne and Staci) and grand children (Evan, Eric, Julien and Ben) were up to. He never missed sending us a contribution for our family gatherings at Christmas. Uncle John will be missed and remembered by the "Timmins clan" Rest in peace Uncle John.....you were a very special man! - Posted by: K L Mike Kentish (Nephew) on: May 30, 2015
