Condolences

Condolence From: Bill, Bev, Ryan & Jillian Smyth
Condolence: Dear Cheryl and Tracy, We were saddened to hear of the passing of your father. The memories of the friendship and encouragement John and your family extended to us when Bill joined the Hespeler Police Dept in 1970 have been and always will be treasured. John will be sadly missed but not forgotten. Our love and prayers are with you, Rita and your families at this time of sorrow.

Condolence: Dear Rita, I am so very sorry to read of John's passing. As you well know I had the honour of working with him for years as we worked together to help Downtown East, Cedar Hill area of Kitchener. Without him (and I tell EVERYBODY)I feel very strongly that our family would have been forced out of our community and we would not be enjoying the renaissance we are experiencing today. He took such a chance on us and I will always be grateful. To you, Rita my dear, my heart breaks as you have lost your best friend, your heart.
I will be thinking of you.
Kindest regards
Karen

Condolence: Rita, I'm so sorry to hear of John's passing. I was fortunate to have worked directly for John rather than just work in his division and saw a side of him that most didn't see. You have my deepest sympathy.
Hope to see you soon at a coffee shop down the road somewhere.
