    Linda, Doris, Doug, Pat and families, Sincere condolences for the loss of your Dad, John was a very special person we spent many hours in there restaurant, it was our favorite place to eat. John and Yen were connected at the hips, and he took such good care of her weather she wanted him to or not. It was a honour to work with them in all there realestate transactions, throughout the years.
    John never skipped a beat, he always had time for a chit chat on his way to and from picking up the mail, I will really miss our conversations, from a such very knowledgeable mind and gentle soul. Our Thoughts and Prayers to you all. Rest in peace John God Bless
