I have so many great memories of John I don’t know where to start. It was a pleasure having him as a cousin. I remember the trips to kinsmen park and Chippewa park to go swimming, we would ride in the back of the station wagon making faces and waving at people following us lol The Easter egg hunts at Kinsmen park, playing tackle football at George and Effies’s, bike rides, tad pole hunting, ice skating on the pond at grandpa and grandma’s, playing in the haymow, helping bring in hay and straw from the fields, fishing in the pond, Sunday school and church, eating all grandmas certs during church lol Sunday dinners and watching the magical world of Disney and Fraggle Rock! But what stands out the most is the size of his heart ❤️ I remember a few times when I stayed at your place when my mom had my brother, my sister and a surgery or two and I went to Gainsborough school with John which Was very scary for me but he made me feel comfortable and made sure that everyone treated me good and that all his friends welcomed me like we had been friends for years :) he also made sure they brought me Valentines so I didn’t feel left out ❤️ So many heart warming memories ❤️ May you Rest In Peace John
My sincere condolences and the biggest hugs to all of you in this very difficult time
