Condolence: I had the great privilege of staying at John and Judy's home back in 1975 when our Toronto high school group headed to then Spence Bay for a student exchange. May God give you all peace during this difficult time, and know that you have all made a huge impact on my, and so many others lives.

Condolence: A year on, and John is still very present in our thoughts. Either that or he's haunting us...

Condolence: You are in my thoughts on this sad day.

Condolence: Will miss seeing your smiling face at the lab....we will also miss your superb apple pie( it was the best both of us had ever tasted ). Brenda and Sharon from the lab

Condolence: Dear Judy and Family, We are so sorry to learn of the loss of such a great friend and fellow purveyor of mischief. 23 years ago we would never have dreamed of maintaining weekly contact with a classmate from NDC for so long. John was the link to others in our beloved class and he will always be in our memory. I will miss the funny and often politically incorrect exchanges we've had over the years. John has answered a higher calling and I'm sure he's right there keeping the Master entertained with unmatched wit and wisdom for the ages. May you have peace and prayerful solace in knowing a great man gave us his all, greater than most men could ever dream of giving.
With love and condolence,
Dave & Mary

Condolence: We want to send our sincere sympathy to the family. Our memories of John are associated through the late John Mcneill. They were great buddies.

June and Corwin

Condolence: We know John from his visits to our store. He shared his love of language, nature and the north as well as pride in his family during his visits. We loved his sense humour - the clever one-liners that could be missed if we weren't paying attention and the amusing emails he sent. We hope you find comfort in good memories and the support of friends. Sincerely, Mary and Terry

Condolence: Good Bye John
It has been an honor and a priviledge to know you. You were always an example and inspiration on how to live a good life on your terms.
Thanks

Condolence: It was so sad to hear of John's passing. He made such a big impact on me as a newcomer to the North, beginning in 1972, and was the one who hired me as an EDO in Rankin Inlet, where I eventually started my own family. My condolences, Judy and to the rest of the family.

Condolence: C'est avec une grande tristesse que Colette et moi avons appris le décès de John. Chère Judy, nous t'offrons nos plus sincères condoléances. Je garderai toujours un très bon souvenir de John et de sa contribution exceptionnelle au cours du NDC en 89-90. Sa philosophie de la vie était percutante et nous faisait réfléchir aux différents problèmes de la vie. Le cotoyer fut un plaisir.
