John, we will always have great memories of you…We may not have solved the world’s problems, but we sure had fun in the coffee shop.

Marion, David, Judi & Sarah our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Since a cure could not be had, we know that John is in a far better place. May your memories become treasures in your hearts forever.

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.

Dear Marion & Family: Wow! John has graduated! Remember, Jesus conquered death by His resurrection! A time of celebration! A time of deep sorrow. A time of fond memories. A time of quiet reflection. 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.

Condolence from Gerald & Marlene Fagan on May 22nd, 2012 6:07 PM

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

Condolence from Scott & Gloria Smith on May 22nd, 2012 8:23 PM

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.

Scott & Gloria
