Condolences

My deepest condolences to all the family and by the many people touched by John.

Sincerest condolences, John was one of a kind. I’ll remember our conversations fondly where he graciously passed from mentor to contemporary over the years. I’ll miss visiting and outings tremendously. Warm regards,
Andre & family.

We are thinking of your family at this difficult time. Wishing you peace, love, and strength.

I'm so very sorry to hear of his passing. Sending my prayers for his journey and my love to the family.

My heartfelt condolences to John’s large loving family. My good cousin John was certainly blessed to have you all in his life.

My sincere condolences.

My prayers for all the families as your father takes his spiritual journey 💕🙏💕

My deepest condolences to family and friends. I met John in Fort Severn, Ontario, on the Hudson Bay coast, where John and others were working to repair the venerable freighter canoe. We had many subsequent Facebook exchanges. His humour had me laughing out loud many times. May the next stage of his journey on to the spirit world be marked by gentle winds and calm waters.

We are so very sorry to hear of John's passing. I remember John as a gentle soul and a loving and patient grandfather. May he rest in peace. Love to you Johna and family

So sorry to hear of your loss. We will remember John always as friendly, kind and happy. Our hearts and thoughts are with you and yours. Much love, Marie & James Hill

Dear Johna, Maria, John, Mathew and all your loved ones. The passing of John makes one realize how fragile time is to spend with your loved ones. The Vanderwater family of Pelican Point Alberta share your loss. God bless you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you

Sincere condolences to your family and friends. I met John when I was Peggy's VON nurse, had many great conversations. He will be missed

My heart aches for you all at the loss of your Dad. He made beautiful boats and an even more beautiful family. Sending big love!

Dear Johna and Family, we are so sorry for your loss and our thoughts are with you. Great picture of John, we remember him coming over to see the progress on Neil’s old boat reno. John had lots of helpful tips to offer.

We want to send our love and prayers to all the Hupfield family as you honour your father & grandfather John. He showed up for you all and you all have honoured him by showing up for him. It is a beautiful legacy to witness such a loyal, kind and loving man and the family that surrounds and reflects his qualities.

As the family and friends grieve the loss of this beautiful heart I share comfort hugs and prayers of support that his lifewalk memories will fill the spaces of loss with joy and really good things. Condolences to all 🙏

I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. I will miss our chats (about boats many years ago, and his grandchildren more recently). I will remember his laugh and will forever smile when he comes to mind. My sincere condolences to his family.

Sending comfort and love to everyone touched by this sad loss.

My sincere condolences. Your dad and mother would attend many of our ball games on the island in the 70’s dragging Johna along. Fond memories.

What a lovely service today for John. He would be so pleased with the love shown today. He will be missed. Much love to all of his wonderful family.

Deepest condolences Matt and family on such a significant loss. I will put tobacco down and prayers up for your Dad’s safe journey to spirit world and your healing.
