Marguerite John and I are saddened with the news of John. We want you to know that he meant so much to us at St. Simon's when the children were young. He had a wonderful sense of humour and if he saw our boys on the street or just driving by he would always wave and say "Bless you, my son" even in recent years when they were grown men. They always mentioned to us that they had seen him and that made them smile. We truly loved him as our Pastor and friend. A few years ago we moved from West Hill but often thought of you both. Our warm thoughts to you and the children at this time. John and Barbara Selleck

So sorry to hear of the passing of Fr. John. Our condolences to you and the whole family at your loss. Just seeing his picture here has brought back so many memories from St. Simon's days. May your memories comfort you as you face the days ahead, until you meet once again in our heavenly home. "Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands." (2 Cor 5).

Marguerite and Family: I was on the selection committee when Father John was asked to come to St. Simon's. We sure made the right decision. We will always remember how he ran the annual meeting of the couples club. No one wanted to be President, so he would continue to fill the other positions and then promote everyone! He was a wonderful priest, a great gentleman and well loved by us all. He will be missed but alwats remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

It was with great sadness that we read today of John's death. He was a great friend not only to our parish, but also to St. John's and we always enjoyed having him with us for service. We will sorely miss him but our lives were enriched by being able to know him for a short time. May God be with you through this time of sorrow.

Dear Marguerite, our deepest sympathy on the passing of your husband John. He was a wonderful, kind man and good friend. Although we only met him during his retirement years, it seems as though we've know him a lifetime. We have many fond memories of the hours we spent playing cribbage together. In fact, he got just as excited when his opponent scored points as when he scored himself. ( Bill was lucky enough to be playing when John got his perfect hand. ) May you find comfort in your many fond memories of him, as we do.

Maybe family or friends will be coming this way. Take care & may the Lord continue to strengthen you today & always... Albina

Dear Marguerite, My daughter, Tanya, and I send our condolences to you and your family at this time of your deep loss of Father John. I telephoned Peggy (Reader) today up in Fort Frances, where she now lives with her husband, to tell her of Father John's passing. She is very sorry as she loved him too. Father John often sustained me with his honest and kindly assessments of life and people over the years. He was a treasure and steady to the core. I will always see him in my heart's eye at Morningside Mall keeping cheery company with various folk there. Tanya remembers when he baptized her (she was around 11 at the time) at St. Simon's. He was a great comfort to me years ago when I was ill. I always liked to hear what he had to say. I was pleased that Peggy, her husband Bill and I were able to visit you and Father John at your Guildwood Village apartment before you moved to Port Perry. That meant a lot to all of us and was a special time. Please know that I am thinking of you and your family with complete love and that I am praying for you. Love, Adele (Koehnke) Friend from Highland Creek

Dear Mrs.Isaacs and family; I doubt if you would remember (or even know) me. I was just a young boy at Bear Cove, White Bay, Newfoundland, when Rev.Isaacs was incumbent of that parish and was my rector when I was confirmed by Bishop Abraham.(He prepared me for Confirmation.) I did make contact with him briefly some years ago when I was at Montreal. I am an Anglican priest and now retired at St. John's,NL. I just received word of Father John's passing via E-Mail from Synod Office at St. John's. Please accept my deepest condolences and those of my wife in this your time of bereavement. Please be assured of our prayers as we commit the soul of your loved one, this faithful priest and servant, to our Lord whom I am sure he has served so diligently and well over the years. God's peace and blessing be with you. Bill Rice

We have been looking forward to meeting you & are sorry it has not happened while John was alive.

For Father John's Family: My father, Len Cox, made sure that I was aware of Father John's passing. He meant a lot to me when I was a teenager. I was a server at St. Simon's with Tom and Greg. I always enjoyed Father John's humour when we were preparing for the services and sometimes even during a service, although very few people ever knew what little prank he might have pulled on one of us in the sacristy. It was a sad day when he left the parish as he had always created an enjoyable environment in which to experience faith. I have never since been in a church where I felt the same way when leaving the service as I did when Father John was presiding. My condolences to you on your loss.

Dear Marguerite, I am so sorry to hear about Uncle John. He was a great man, who taught me to trust in myself and believe I had the potential to do great things. You both gave me some of the most positive and happy summers of my childhood. I always remember our crib tournaments and my famous rock collection outside your front step. I am now living in London, England, working as a social worker. I've been here for four years and love the excitement of another country, but I miss home, and will always be 'crousetown girl' Both you and Uncle John hold a very special place in my heart, and I am truly sorry to hear of his passing. Love always Sarah

Dear Mrs. Isaacs, I am very sad to hear of Father John's passing. I have many fond memories of his warmth and kindness. In particular, I will always remember the gentle stories he told us during confirmation classes, and how he once preached a beautiful sermon about the birds that had built a nest inside the stained glass window at old St. Simon's. I know also that my parents had the greatest respect and affection for him - for years after he retired, my mother would still reminisce fondly about his frequent visits to our home, dropping in unannounced to share a cup of tea and fellowship. He was a parish priest in the grandest tradition, genuinely caring for his parishioners and sharing in our lives. I will never forget him.
