I was so looking forward to finally meeting John in October, the farmer who had totally captured the heart of my beautiful cousin Jeanne. Alas, not to be. Now I look forward to meeting his children and grandchildren who I am sure will share their memories of him and prove to be worthy of his legacy. Rest in peace John and thank you for being a wonderful husband to my dear cousin. - Posted by: Jane Harris (cousin (in law)) on: Jul 27, 2017

Our deepest sympathy to you Jeanne and the rest of the family. We really enjoyed John and his contribution to the Charolais boards he participated on and the visits to the farm over the years. His mild demeanor and distinctive chuckle are what I will always remember. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. - Posted by: Helge & Candace By (Charolais Friend) on: Jul 26, 2017

I first met John back in 2007 on my first trip over to Canada to meet my family. From the off he was a kind and welcoming guy with a great sense of humour. He made me feel right at home. The same could be said in my returning visit in 2012. John was a hardworking and dedicated man who spent much of his day out on the farm. He was a shining example to his children and loved so dearly by his wife. I remember on my first trip over him and Jeanne were in the hot tub and Derek, Wade, Tyler and I bombarded them with cold water balloons- it was their 25th wedding anniversary. John seemed so mad, he told me he was going to send me home to London immediately. Next thing I know he's chasing us with a huge bucket of cold water and I'm soaked! He wasn't mad at all he was just joining in with the joke. Such a great guy. I will miss him sincerely and am sad that I never got the opportunity to see him again. Rest in peace John, until we meet again xxx - Posted by: Sara Hunt (Cousin (in law) ) on: Jul 26, 2017
