Dear Pat,
It’s been many years since we had the pleasure of first meeting you and John at a ME Weekend. As time went on we greatly appreciated your love, wisdom and leadership in that ministry. You and John were an amazing team, so we can imagine how much your heart must be aching! John was such a beautiful person, with a great capacity for reaching out and putting people at ease quickly with his humour and accepting manner! He was a very talented but humble man. May he Rest In Peace and May you and your family be comforted by all the best memories of your precious time together.
We’re sorry we lost touch with you. We have been in Osoyoos in the Okanagan Valley for the last 16 years and would welcome a visit from you at any time.
With our deepest condolences and love to you and your family,
Michael and Vera

My condolences to the family. As a former member of St. Joseph's choir, I got to know John briefly before moving. He had such a love of singing and was a great addition to the music ministry and will be truly missed by St. Joseph's family.
ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO HIM OH LORD AND MAY HE REST IN PEACE

Dear Pat, Michael, Andrea and Angela,
I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I think of John as one-of-a-kind, a force of nature, and a man with such a big heart of love for all. May your faith and that love he shared with you sustain you in the very hard days and nights ahead, as you travel onwards, a strong and loving family.
Love, Lynn Tobin, New Jersey, USA.
