Hello Carol,
We are so sorry to hear of John’s passing. His sense of humour and love of life will always come to
mind when we think of him. Memories over the years of dog shows and kennel club events still bring smiles to our faces. We enjoyed our conversations with both of you at concerts over the past few years. Our sincere condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts.

Hi Carol, I was very sad to hear of John’s passing. In the short time I lived at the apartment building I was really happy to see John on his walks with Ozzie and then have the opportunity for a brief chat. I came to look forward to those talks and John’s smile and zest for life. Please accept my condolences at this difficult time.
