I was sorry to hear of John's passing. I was in the Montreal lab when he arrived . Did not have any projects with him, but always enjoyed being in his company. Time will heal the wound you have in your heart.

Jill and Nicola, Colin and I are so sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a very nice co-worker, always willing to listen, always smiling. I will always remember our Lamaze classes. Take care and if you ever come this way please call (905-349-2856).

Jill, so sad to hear the news about John. A very unique guy and always a honest rebel of corporate rubbish which I strongly admired. We had several periods working together in Banbury, USA, HK/China. Take care

Jill so sorry to hear of your loss. John was a great guy and I will fondly remember all the times we had together when you and John first arrived in Canada amidst a deep freeze.

Our deepest and sincerest condolences to you, Jill and Nicola, and family. What a sad sad day. We have so many fond many memories of John. Such a lovely lovely man: so gentle, yet certainly not lacking in a feisty spirit. I can still see him wearing his Tam 'o shanter [with the orange hair] at rugby matches in HK. May he rest in true and everlasting peace. Jono and I are embracing you both tightly. XXXXXX

Dear Jill and Nicola
Remembering always John's cheeky Scottish humour and his love for his Jilly and Nicola. We will miss his knowledge and the many discussions we enjoyed.
With love, sherry and Warwick.
