My deepest sympathy to all John's family, It is December 2 and I have just learned of John's passing, I just assumed be seeing his apartment dark while I was delivering that John must be in the hospital, but now reality has hit and let me say it was a sinking,lump in the throat kind of feeling.....John was a very kind, wonderful man and he will be remembered, thank goodness for his brother taking care of the cat, that was John's buddy and now he can bring you much joy as well....God Bless, RIP John my friend. Di

My sincere condolence to Elizabeth, Steve, Susie, David and Laura on th loss of your brother John.I am glad that you were all able to work things out in the past few years, and were able to spend some time with him getting to know him. I am sure he appreciated all your kindness to him. May you find comfort today in the Lord as you say your good byes.Hugs

Where do I begin! John was one of a kind and the love of my life for many years. I loved his smile and devilish laugh. John always had a sparkle in his eyes and he always gave that wink. He loved a joke and loved to tell a joke. John always pretended to be the tough guy but he really was a softy. He was intelligent and had a great sense of humor. John is now at Peace and my condolences go to all his family and the many friends he met along his journey.

Well I aint superstitous but a black cat just crossed my trail..A lot of us older folks will remember that classic song from the 70's I am Steve Hughes..Younger brother to John. Last winter when Johnny was hospitalized for 6 weeks I took in his cat under the premise that once healthy again I would return him to John.That day never came.. A lifetime just flys by it seems.I remember as a kid Johnny leaving the house to go to hockey with that big duffle bag over his shoulder. Then later he enlisted into the navy and was gone a lot. He got married in Montreal and spent many years there before finally settling back here in Ontario.. You will be missed Johnny..By me and your remaining loved ones. Thank you to Lori for the backgammon story.Although I dont personaly know you Im sure Johnny valued your friendship a lot And that black cat sure seems to be swirling around my ankles alot these past couple days..Almost as if..Naw..I aint superstitous

I miss my brother very much, I wish I had more time with him,but seeing the condolences here and the stories make me realise what a good man he was.

I remember many many hours of playing online backgammon and talking about life with this very intelligent man that touched my heart. He loved country music and especially enjoyed evenings at the Sanderson Centre with his wheel chair and oxygen tanks in tow. Your pain and worries are gone now, I will miss you. Your friend Lori

My sincere condolences to Johnny's brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews. He was a good man.
