Dear Joke and family - please accept our sincere condolences. Although we didn’t know John well he left quite an impression when we would meet during our visits to Cobourg. He was always a pleasure to talk with and we even shared some professional acquaintances that dated back to his days as chief bridge engineer at CN. I know that my parents greatly appreciated his friendship and company when he would come for coffee on Friday mornings with the rest of the gang. Sterkte gewenst for tomorrow and the days and weeks that lie ahead.
Our deepest condolences to your family as you remember and celebrate the life of your father and grandfather. May you experience the Lord’s comfort and peace in this time of grief. R+E
