I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of John. John was a good and descent man. May the memories of his goodness and kindness be a source of comfort for the family in the months and years ahead.

John was a very kind man. I am happy to have gotten to know him since moving across the street 3 years ago. Raili and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

So sorry to hear of your loss Tanya. My condolences to you and your family

I'm saddened to learn of John's passing. He was one of the nicest and one of my favourite people that I got to know while working at Uniroyal, Scandura, and Fenner. My condolences to his family and friends.

My deepest sympathy to all of John's family. John was a honest genuinely good man and it was a privilege to get to know him while working at Parry Sound Home Hardware. It was during this period that one could see his dedication to his family and his steadfast belief in doing what was right. John you will be missed by many not just for your attention to detail but for being a truly good man

We were shocked to receive this sad and unwelcome news. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Raili and family, thinking of you all at this difficult time.
I feel indebted to John and his parents Norman and Isobel who were responsible for me moving to Canada in 1967 for which I will always be grateful. John was a delight to work for/with and we had many great times and laughs during the summer of '67. He even spent Christmas in the UK with my family that year. Over the past 57 years we remained in contact across the miles and enjoyed many mutual updates.
A fine man who will be greatly missed.

We wish to say how sorry we are for your loss. Our condolences to you Raili and Tina, Tanya and Lisa

John, being one of Mike’s few cousins, was a valuable link to Radforth history, and a pleasure to meet.
Deepest sympathy.
