We were neighbours to John and Jean for years when we moved to Pritchard Farm. Always remember John's great positivity and his golf stories, along with his supply of golf balls he retrieved on his daily golf trips to Lorette. Our thoughts to you Jean at this difficult time. - Posted by: Kim & Ted Feniuk ((old neighbours)) on: Jun 08, 2020

I am so glad I spent time chatting with John at the Doroshenko Reunion a few years ago. I also had great conversations with him by phone when he was in the States during the winter as I was planning the Reunion. He was so positive about life in general. I'm sorry that he has gone and I won't be able to enjoy any future phone calls. My heart goes out to his loving wife.
