Barb, Kari, Jim and Paul. My deepest sympathies to all of you. I will always remember your dad as a kind fair and honest man. Whenever I would run into him when back in Sarnia, he always expressed a genuine interest in what I had been up to. I looked up to him and always enjoyed those opportunities to share some time and chat with him. What an awesome person, someone I will remember always

Our sympathies to the family. We remember John and Barb as our immediate and excellent back yard neighbours, no fences, from 1998 to 2006. We recall his energy, enthusiasm and of special note his annual deep fry turkey event.

Amongst many things, we will miss John's humour and conviviality. We have always looked forward to John's presence when we got together with our Slovak friends at various functions in Chatham, Dresden, Sarnia, or West Lorne. John and I had many good times playing together in the polka band during our teens. We will miss you, John. God Bless. Peter and Luba Laychak

Dear Jim and Family, I have been away and was shocked to learn of your father's passing. He was an enigmatic man with lots of good humour to share. We loved seeing him out at all of the social events to represent Steelmax. He is a light that will be missed.
