Liz. Sorry for your loss. Life long member of the corunna community.
John was truly one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever known. He treated me with genuine care, respect, and warmth, and I will always be grateful for the way he impacted my life. His goodness was evident not only in the big things, but in the everyday moments that showed his character and heart for others.
The world has lost a truly good man, and he will be deeply missed. My thoughts are with his family and all who loved him.❤️
Liz and family,
My deepest condolences to all of you. John will be truly missed, and the neighborhood just won’t be the same without him. Today it’s clear he’s already joined the firefighters watching over us from above.
May he rest in peace.

A wonderful man and cousin. I so enjoyed our garage visits over the past few years. just three golden oldies sharing memories and “solving” the problems of the world. John kept his yard like a picturesque showpiece lovingly tended to make home for plants and birds to be enjoyed from the sunroom. The love of the LaPier and Gignac family to all of you . He will be remembered .
I am sorry for your loss. John was a wonderful man and I have many fond memories of him. My deepest sympathy, Dawn
Liz and family,

He was a great person and I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with him while attending to our calls and training sessions with the Corunna Fire Department.
I also looked forward to our annual outing to the Watford Fire Department fish fry.
He will be missed missed by all.
