Condolence From: Heather Burns
Condolence: I am so very sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a very special person and I have many fond memories of John during his time at Hull services and Hull school. I remember whatever I asked of him, he always said "yes" and even when it seemed an impossible task, he made it happen. My condolences to the family.

Condolence: My condolences to John's family on his passing. I knew John from his years of working at Hull, and we had many wonderful and rich conversations in that time, usually over the shell of a broken appliance or as he was patching up walls. John put the "gentle" in gentleman; he was truly a sincere, caring, one-of-a-kind man. His bright light will be truly missed.

You have always been there to support me in any venture that I embarked on, encouraged me to believe in myself offered to help and came with out a moment's notice to my and my family's aid. You are a true example of what selflessness is. The world is less bright without you. When I walk the paths of Calgary I will be walking with you at my side. I Love you to the moon and back. 💕

Condolence: Dad....You were my rock, best friend and most amazing loving Father a Son could ever wish for EVER!!! We shared the most amazing adventures, road trips, stories and laughs together that will be remembered for an eternity.

Condolence: John Jr. and family. My family sends our sincere condolences on your loss. We were lucky to be part of your dad's life. Uncle John was such a wonderful and kind individual. He would always drop by my office from the bike path to ensure that I was not under too much stress in my new position. He was a huge part of our mother's, his sister's life. They shared many a bowl of Pho during their driving excursions in the country. He really was a wonderful uncle and brother to us.

Condolence: I'm so sorry to hear of John's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him at Pathways. He was an old-school true gentleman; chivalrous and forthright. The last time I saw him, he was riding his bike down High Street on a gorgeous summer day. I called out to him, but he was going so fast there was no way I could have caught him! A great memory. Deepest condolences.

Condolence: So sorry for your loss John. My favourite memory of your dad was when you guys lived in Lynx Creek. He took us kids snowmobiling one day, one at a time and when it was my turn let me drive. I remember there was huge jump (I was only about 8 or 9 I doubt the sled even left the ground but nevertheless...) he told me to gun it, then he laid back. I just about dumped him. haha Most of my other memories are more about his presence. I always felt safe with him. And I will never forget his smile.
