So sorry for your loss. John spent countless hours at the lawn bowling club tending to the grass for so many years. He was a pleasure to know. Never saying too much but we knew how much he enjoyed the sport. We will remember him for the wonderful salmon loaf and homemade pies he brought for our potlucks. What a talent he had!! He leaves behind many enjoyable memories of years gone past. Take care.

My condolences to all of you – a sweet man that will be missed- cherish your great times together
