    Dear Angela,
    It was with great sadness that I learned of John’s death. He was a great priest at Guardian Angels Orillia. He celebrated Greg’s Mother’s funeral beautifully and also our 25th wedding anniversary. We have fond memories of dinners together and lots of laughs with the children. I do know that he also was a wonderful and caring wedding officiate for a number of acquaintances. We will remember him fondly and trust that fond memories will sustain you Angela through this very sad time for your family.
    Fondest Regards
    Colleen Evans

    Dearest Angela
    It’s Jan 19th and I just heard the news. I knew and so cared for and enjoyed John’s company. We travelled many times together always to a new golfing destination. I new John as an incredible and insightful priest and mentor. I then new him in life with his “Angel” as he called Angela. John I cried when I heard the news, I will so miss you, even now I’m still crying.
    Forever your golfing Buddy,
    Paul Weber
