John & I were friends along time. We met in kindergarten & shared the same class until grade 9. I lost touch with him for the last bunch of years but I always considered him to be my friend. I was shocked to read about his passing in the newspaper. On behalf of my wife Sally & all my brothers & sisters, I would like to send our condolences to Catherine, Mary, Jimmy & Mick. John, I hope you are liking the music up there. Mike Dick
