Dear Jean, Ken (Nathan), Kelly and Brian (Wesley and Andrew)
So sorry for your loss. John was one of the best. We are proud to have spent so much time together with John and Jean. Many laughs have passed through our lives with you both. Our memories will always be treasured for a long, long time to come. Rick will definitely treasure the times John and him spent in Temagami. I will treasure my memories of jokes John loved to tell. Always a great chuckle.
John may be gone but he will never be forgotten.
Our thoughts and friendship will be with you always.
Rick and Sharon Chayko

My deepest condolences on the passing of John. My father (Don Yerex) worked with him at Bell Canada. I also worked for Bell during my teenage years as a long distance operator and got to know him then. He was so kind to all of us. Take care at this difficult time.

When I was Chair of the last OSMH Capital Campaign John was Chair
of the OSMH Board. He came to me and said that he wanted to help
but he wasn't a salesman and wasn't sure he could ask people for
donations. I appointed him to find Naming Opportunities. He did a
remarkable job and participated fully in all meeting.
I see now that his participation in the campaign was one of a long
list of contributions he made in the Orillia area.
At all times he was friendly and thoughtful.
To Jean and family, my sincere condolences.
