My sincere condolences to your families. Mr. O’Neil was such a kind person. As a customer, I recall having many chats with Mr. O’Neil; he was so cheerful, and always seemed to have a smile on his face that would brighten your day. May he Rest In Peace. Sincerely, Susan Thain. - Posted by: Susan Thain (Customer) on: Mar 09, 2022

I had the pleasure of working with John (or Mr. O as we called him) some years ago at Regent Park Pharmacy, but growing up in Transcona that place was a staple of the community. He was always a pleasure to work with, he always seemed to be ready with a joke or a fun story. I'll always remember him for his 'Mocha' that he would have on his breaks. Coffee with a little bit of hot chocolate; I make it from time to time and just smile a little because I can hear him say 'time for my mow-kah!' It's a small thing, sure, but a fond memory I've kept all these years. Thank you for your time, your help and your service to the community and my love and sincere condolences to a family who I know will miss him dearly. - Posted by: Allison Wilkinson (McCulloch) (Co-worker) on: Mar 07, 2022

My deepest sympathies to Jack's family. He was the kindest man I have ever met. I have many fond memories of him while we were working together. He was a man of dignity, grace and great humour. His empathy towards his customers was undeniable. I was fortunate enough to have had a chance to work with him before his passing. God bless his soul. - Posted by: Josie Yeung (co-worker) on: Mar 05, 2022
