John's passing was deeply sad and shocking news. Our hearts go out to you and your family during this difficult time. John was a wonderful person and we have great memories of the time at the cottage. Donation to the Humane Society was an obvious choice as Tuuli will miss John's dog biscuit treats.
If there's anything you need or any way we can support you, please don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you strength and comfort.
Pirjo and Curtis
P.S. If you would like to use the cottage in May/June please let us know. We are offering this as a friend and will refuse any compensation.

I first met John when he would come into Pie Guys for his slice after a round of golf. He was never in a rush and always said leave it in a bit extra. This gave us time to chit chat. He was a kind soul and myself and other staff always looked forward to seeing him throughout the week. (Sometimes more than once) The Pie Guys staff send our love and prayers to his family. He will be truly missed.

To Nicole and Family: Please accept our sincerest condolences on the passing of John. Over the past years we looked forward to seeing John and Nicole walking around the block, especially more often in the past 2 years due to Nicole's knee surgery. John always liked to stop and chat, usually about golf, discussing his game of the day. We always looked forward to those talks. We remember him running after his grandchildren as they learned to ride their 2-wheeled bikes down our street. He was a great neighbour and will be missed. Wendy and Ken McGinty

My sincere condolences to the whole family. Being a teen when I met Theresa, I spent a good amount of the time in the McHugh home and with Theresa. I always envied your large close-knit family and loved the atmosphere in your home. I know that what I saw there would have been carried on in John's family - the importance of family, the laughter, the joy, the values. I'm thinking of all of you and wish you strength and support from family and friends.

So sorry to hear about John. He was a great guy. A fun memory from the past is those nice warm summer nights, when all of the neighbourhood kids played baseball either at our house or Hetheringtons. Then seeing Mrs. Hetherington come out with that bell and ring it loud and clear signalling it was time for all of the kids to scatter home for the night. Condolences to all of the family. He will be missed. Heather and Bailey Fenton

Cherished memories of John always with a treat for Buddy. If he didn’t have one in his pocket , he popped into the garage while Buddy jumped around on his hind legs in anticipation. Even if John wasn’t outside Buddy always stopped at the end of the driveway, just in case. Missing you John
