John was a true friend to Ray and Joan Duncan at Essie Summers, regularly visiting Ray in level 3 special care and also Joan in Rest Home. A kind and gentle man, who we have fond memories of on West Coast. Rest peacefully John. Sincere sympathy to the family.

John you were the loveliest man. I thought about you over the past 2 years since retiring from caregiving. I enjoyed your company, there was always a joke to be had and we had many laughs. Your family and friends will miss you, my sympathy. You were one of lifes gentlemen. Chris

I sat next to John at the dinner table for the last 3 or 4 years. Both of us being west coasters, we were able to chat about people we knew. John was such a nice man, great sense of humour and a real gentleman. I miss him already. My sincere sympathy to his family. Dawn Adams
