My most vivid memories are of John and Kay playing hearts with my parents and Murray MacNicol at our cottage after the Saturday Night Band Concert. My sister and I would put to bed in the back bedrooms. Murray and Kay could get each other going and the skrieks and laughter that would reverberate through the cottage when the Queen of Spades would descend on someone are still memorable.
Dear Jay and family. I just heard of John's passing. So sorry to hear that. You were both good friends to my Mom, Shirley Blaney and myself whenever I was visiting. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Syndee and Bill English

Dear Kay and family; I just wanted to offer our condolences to you all; my mother Betty lived in Kincardine for many years and also was an avid 'birder'; there was many a time the telephone would ring and it was John, advising that something rare was roosting out on the B line, and off they would go. Good memories.
