Heartfelt and deepest condolences to all family for the loss of a very special man. My heart goes out to those who were closest to him, loved him and knew him well.
Gayle Jaraway, love to you all.
With deepest sympathy to the family and to all who knew John!
Beautiful memories of visiting John & Harmke, Harmke had an amazing laugh that came from her heart but so did John!!
I remember him always kidding and gently punching me in the arm saying eh? Eh!
United together now two beautiful souls, so honoured to have known both.
Warmest Regards
My heart goes out to all the family!
The loss you feel is a wound within the heart that never heals, but knowing he's at peace now and exploring his new home, different roads and lakes, with his beautiful wife by his side once again, it gives happiness too.
John and Harmke will be forever loved and treasured. Thank you for all the years that I had the honor of being in your life. A true blessing!!
When I had no parents in my life, you gave me a special place in your hearts, and I felt home.

Well so many memories.. your father and uncle Bob in all their adventures.. Friday nights in the garage… some Saturdays at the races.. which your mom and I were kinda ticked at times lol. Camping in Algonquin… any time they could go boating and etc.etc. Your dad was a good man and worked hard. He loved you all.
Our deepest condolences to you, Jackie, John, and Ian in the loss of your Dad; brings the reality that both parents have sadly gone on. That being said, it is encouraging to know that they can live on through our memories of them.
Your parents, and the connection our families have had with yours, will always be a part of our fondest memories growing up. As you guys lay your Dad to rest, know that our hearts are with you as you say good-bye (sorry we can't be there with you). Your parents, and your Dad's love for all things with an engine, mostly Ford, will always be remembered. Love you guys.

We were so sorry to hear of Uncle John’s passing, yet I know you all take comfort in that he’s no longer suffering. I have many, many memories of our times spent together as families over the years, and we are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Much love, Jerry and Joan Callahan.
John and Harmke and family were like my family for so many years and in so many ways. I loved discussing scripture with John and how he carefully thought out what he was going to say before speaking. I loved his sense of humour and his generous spirit. About now he is hearing "well done...good and faithful servant". My deepest condolences to all his beloved family. Terri
