Condolence From: Harry Huizer
Condolence: John was my first Physical Education in grade 9 at NDSS.
He was an imposing figure and was a good teacher who kept us under control. What a joy it was to have played so much golf with John over the last years. We often fondly talked about those teaching days. John was a very good golfer and he was never at a loss of words on any topic. He was so interesting whether on the course or at the clubhouse. A couple of weeks before his passing we played together and John shot a 40 with bogies on the last 2 holes but a birdie on #3. It was a great round of golf and we tied that day but somehow he got the awards...deservingly. John had a wonderful sense of humour and he played the game with class. I will miss him as will so many others. My condolences to the family...he was a wonderful and highly respected friend of so many!

Condolence: Diane, Larry and I would like to express our sincere condolences. We remember playing on Friday night couples league opening day with you and John a few years ago. Although we only got two holes completed before the rain came we do remember the lovely conversation we had in the clubhouse afterward. Please take care.
