Our thoughts and prayers are with Vera and the extended family of John. We cherish the wonderful memories and share in the sorry of his passing.

We had some great conversations about golf, politics and the world of education at our numerous family gatherings over the years. We will miss John’s humour and genuine interest of what was going on in our lives. Our prayers are with you during this time.
