My condolences to the Gray family. John, Jan and I taught physical education together at Sturgeon Creek. I have many fond memories of our time together-breaking cross country ski trails out back of the school to the forest, teaching combined classes together, monthly 12 min runs with each of our classes and more. Rest In Peace John. - Posted by: Jim Tomes (Colleague and friend) on: Aug 04, 2019

My heartfelt condolences to Myrt and all the Gray family. Not only was John a great colleague at Sturgeon Creek, he was a true friend. It was such a pleasure to teach Myrt and John's kids, ie. Ken, Charlene, Sandra, and Kathy. --- Jan Pickell ( colleague and friend ) - Posted by: Jan Pickell (teaching colleague) on: Aug 02, 2019
