We were so shocked to hear of John’s passing. We enjoyed his easy going nature. He loved to visit and to learn about the computer.
We all will miss him but will remember him with a smile.

A time of laughter. A time for crying. A time for hugging. A time of graitude for John. No more pain. John is free. Jesus is hugging you as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. What a privilege! Ian & I are holding you up in prayer as you travel this journey together.

Dear Marion:
We were very sorry to learn of John’s passing. John was a dedicated parishioner of Trivitt Anglican Memorial Church and we always admired him for his dedication and loyalty. We were the recipients of his dedication many times when we came to Trivitt to perform with the Gerald Fagan Singers. He always made sure that everything ran smoothly and he never looked for accolades, even though he was always well deserving of praise accorded him.
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
Warmest wishes
Gerald & Marlene Fagan
Dear Marion,
So sorry to hear the news. There are too many Sugar Bush memories to count, as only we founders can know. Kind of seems like there are legacies everywhere and we are better for having known John.
A prayer has been sent.

Marion we are very sorry for your loss. You might not remember me from our ywca days but I remember yours and John’s hospitality well, especially during a certain snowstorm and certainly appreciated it when John rescued us all and you kindly took us in for the night.
I am so sorry to hear of John’s passing–My thoughts and prayers are with you at such a sad time.
Marion so sorry to hear of the passing of John, I always enjoyed his presents, joking and also life experiences, the thing at drew me to John was those beauitful blue eyes,so warm and comforting.
