I just found out about John's passing!

when I didn't hear anything from John on my birthday I thought he had forgotten but when I tried to reach him on his birthday I knew there was something wrong!

John and I were a couple for a few years and when things didn't work out, we remained very close friends! We called each other on a regular basis to be updated on each other! I've known John for at least 25 years and I will miss our chats! May you rest in peace Honey! I will miss you! ❤️❤️😘😘

My friend John is suddenly gone.  We were friends for over 3o years and I will miss him greatly.  I could always count on John for an honest opinion, even when I did not agree with it,  He always sprinkled it with some lighthearted humour.  John was multi=faceted in his many endeavours - endowed with the ability to learn and to teach himself so many skills.  With this ability he learned how to play the saxophone, became an archer and a photographer, learned how to do his own renovations, and to repair his beloved motorcycles.

In some ways he was a 'loner', but was nevertheless always seeking the 'perfect' relationship... because, at his core, he was a romantic.  Unfortunately, such an enduring relationship eluded him during his lifetime.

He had recently moved back to Winnipeg and was focused on his new home and being close to his sister, who was his last remaining family.  It makes me very sad that he was not able to enjoy many more years of peace and happiness working at the many things he was so good at.

Omg I just heard of John's passing.  I worked with John (Johnny) for many years at Customs.  I loved his come backs.  He was always full of wit and he will be truly missed.  He always called me Lynnie.  Although I haven't seen him for awhile he will be truly missed.

At the end of life what really matters is not what we bought but what we built, not what we got but what we shared, not our competence but our character and not our success but our significance . I believe John lived a life that certainly mattered. Always giving of himself to his friends with a thoughtful act or a kind word . You will be missed my friend.
