Condolences to John’s family.He sure was a character, missed his visits when he moved. Always had a chuckle about something, i liked giving him a hard time about anything.
Hi Christine, we’re coming down for John’s funeral, very sorry your families loss. Warm hugs coming soon.
From the “Field” extended family on Paget Street (60 plus years). Our heart felt condolences on John’s passing ! After we loss Dad, John was terrific with helping our Mom. He made sure the garbage and recycling was out, would bring in the blue boxes, would clean the driveway off on those snowy days and would help out wherever he could. Bill and I will be forever grateful for John’s kindness. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Love, May, Bill and Stephen Deschamps.
Lived by John for many years in Corunna. He was a helpful neighbour, would do anything for you, you only had to ask. Sometimes you didn’t even need to ask and your garbage pail or blue box would be sitting in your backyard, cleaned out and put away. Or your laneway would be cleared off of snow. Guess now Brad and I will have to eat that special apple pie we’ve been holding on to waiting for your next visit. RIP John
We are sorry for your loss John was our neighbour and our friend he didn’t even mind when Deb called him a curmudgeon he’d just smile at her. He was always there when you needed a hand or just for a chat. We will miss him.
I met John one of my first days at OWS, he was a legend with the Railroad, always a story and always a laugh, loved when he would come to Petrolia to see mother, and stop in and see us at the office. We would ask him often, could you adopt us and we could hang out all the time? Grandpa john you’ll be missed! He was a gem!
