We will always remember John as a person who took such care of himself and also who knew how to do many many things besides his job. He was a Gardner, HANDYMAN THAT KNEW HOW TO DO EVERYTHING and also looked like a movie star who liked to dress impeccably. Julio and John watched sports together and loved Tambura Music. You will be missed especially at our Tambura Parties. Everyone loved John.

Sincere sympathy to Carmela and John Matthew.
Your death has left another huge void in our family. The cruelty of Parkinsons robbed you of half your life. You fought hard throughout; sadly your death was equally hard. It is now time to release you from the ravages of this disease. You are now free of this affliction and suffering. I was blessed to have you as my brother and will treasure the memories growing up with you. The love between you and Carmela remained strong and she cared for you at home to the end. Rest in peace Johnny. May a Choir of Angels escort you on the way to Heaven. Pocivaj u miru. Zbogom. Love Diana

My most sincere condolences to all of you on the passing of John. You are such an wonderfully close-knit family, so supportive of one another. I always admired that. My Mom and Stepfather considered your Mom and Dad to be their good friends and we would visit them at every available opportunity. My husband Peter thought of John, Tommy, Marianne and Diana as close and special friends all through the years. Carmela and John , I hope that the wonderful memories you have . will help to comfort you at this sad time. All my love and best wishes. Sharon Milakovic

Though never having had the privilege of getting to know Johnny personally, Diana portrayed his generous and kind personality so well in conversation that I came to "know" him virtually through his dear sister, my friend. The bond he and Diana treasured was evident in how she so caringly spoke of Johnny.
Johnny will be truly missed by Diana and family but their memories of the not so distant past will carry them through this trial of grief and loss.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Lyle and Bobbie

In a moment, the world seems a lot emptier without him. A good and decent man has left us after a long and hard journey bravely fought. No one can ever rob you of your memories. I remember a sweet good looking 3 year old riding his tricycle on Frood Road in Sudbury, neatly combed hair, short pants, knee socks, shirt and sweater; a car hitting him also on Frood Road in the excitement of V-Day; the train ride from Sudbury to Toronto; falling off the horse in the back laneway on Kensington; our house on Denison where our Dad had just wallpapered the 10 foot ceiling and Johnny and I shaking a Wilson’s Cola and seeing if we could squirt to reach the ceiling.....and we did.....; each week listening to Mr Chameleon as a family on the small radio and eating popcorn at that same address; the time I took him to watch the Maple Leafs at the old baseball stadium at the foot of Bathurst Street and sitting on the 3rd base line side and a foul ball that came right at us, I caught it and we went down to get it autographed after the game..I think he still has it; watching him spit and polish his police leggings that were the shiniest on the force; his quiet humour; his sports statistical memory; playing Pictionary and we were on the same team and we were totally on the same wave length....him drawing a simple oval shape on the page and me answering in a moment “choir”, and then his next turn, drawing a U.S. state and again me answering “Minnesota”....think the other team thought we were cheating; and the night our beloved mother died and he gently closed her eyes and started making the arrangements, and I could go on. I was proud to be his sister.
Before closing, I want to thank Carmela from the bottom of my heart for her herculean care of my beloved brother. He loved you and your son John Matthew deeply. Thank you also to family, friends and health care professionals for their love and support over the many years, and to Tommy and Sandy for always being there. Johnny, you will be missed beyond words, but never forgotten. Rest in peace. Love Diana
