Pat, Tracy, Linda. I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. He was my boss, my mentor and my friend. He saw me through divorce, marriage and children. Loved his common sense approach to everything. A real family man. I know he will be missed.
Dear Tracy, Linda, and Mrs Dobbie: I ‘m so sorry to hear of Mr. Dobbie's passing. May he rest in peace. My deepest sympathies from my family to yours. May you have tender thoughts that live forever in your hearts and blossom into beautiful memories. Have these memories to turn to for comfort, family and friends to turn to for support, and hope and strength to help ease your sadness at this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Our condolences and love, Paul and Gena
Hello Pat and girls, I was shocked and saddened to hear of John's death and my thoughts are with all of you. John has a delightfully dry sense of humour and I shall remember him for that, for his love of travel and for his willingness to welcome extended family to his home. Hugs and Prayers. Shirle
Pat and family please accept my condolences for the passing of John; a friend and comrade when we worked together at Bendix a few years ago. I am very sorry that his passing came at a time when we had made arrangements to get together again after 30 years of different paths. I feel very lucky that we were able to share a few laughs on the phone about a month ago.
Tracy & Linda My thoughts are with you all during this sad time. It is never easy to lose some one so special- a father is one a daughter looks up to, loves unconditionally and is always your first hero from a young age. May your memories help you find peace and keep his spirit alive.
Pat and Family...My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, hope you remember me, we used to bowl together, it has been a long time ago. Hugs, thinking of you, Sofi St Joseph's Hospice, what a beautiful place , the staff there are just amazing.
