Your decency, sincerity and humour will always be fondly remembered. Safe travels, friend, and peace and comfort to those you loved with such a big heart, and who loved you in return.

Dear Nancy,
I apologize for being unable to attend John’s wake and funeral but wish to extend my personal condolences to you and your family.
I remember when John first started to practice law and he was well known as his friendly personality and high ethical conduct.
From time to time, I would see John personally and was pleased to know that he did well with his position with the Federal Government.
I am sorry to learn of his untimely death but I would be neglectful if I didn’t write this letter and advise you of how much respect I had for John.
Yours truly,
Francis E. Atkinson, Q.C.

I can honestly say that I do not remember you happier then when you met, then married, John. We are so very grateful that he became a part of our family and over the 17 years we experienced and celebrated many occasions. Andy and I feel truly blessed for the numerous memories we share. Our children will always love and remember Uncle John for his hugs, smiles, skating, sliding, hockey games, Halloween nights, times at Grammy Feeney's, our home in New Market, Thanksgivings at Mom and Dad's and many more.
What an incredible man to many.
All our love,
Tina, Andy, Drew, Liam and Elizabeth xoxo

Dear Nancy and family,
It is with heavy heart that I write this note.
John was a special guy.
He always had a smile on his face for everyone he met even for me :-)
John and I shared many chuckles together, sometimes with a steak and fries at the Midtown, the food court in the square (he liked the Korean place), just being work buddies, goofing about and clowning around. You could do that with John. No pretense, no heirs, just a funny good guy.
John was the face of CIC in New Brunswick.
We were planning on attending the funeral tomorrow however the weather forecast is not good.
Please know that the Big Guy was always well thought off by everyone and will be truly missed!
God Bless!!
Mike
