I was just surving net looking at BLENHEIM obits-
Like so many if you want a hair cut you do it at Johns
my late parents Denby and Yvonne Breen and our family also knew him and his family throgh church
We all have special memories--when my brther died in 1968 of car accident John made sure myself and my brothers plus dad had our hair cuts before the funeral great memory
He was loved and like by many he had the golden touch of friendship
On behalf of my brothers we send our deepest sympathy
Hes in heaven now with his loven wife
GOD BLESS

Sending sincere sympathy to Johnny’s large and extended family. He will be greatly missed. Such a privilege to be able to be part of the funeral, and to hear Johnny play again, thanks to the marvels of technology. The breadth of his love came through clearly in the eloquent eulogy and the stories woven throughout the service. There is no doubt that Johnny lives on through his beautiful family.
With love,
Claire and Wayne McDowell ♥️

Sharon, Maryann and families.
Shocked to hear of the passing of Uncle John.
I remember he always enjoyed life and was very happy.
Like those wild horses.
I have memories of many years of family gatherings where John was the life of the party.
The world has now lost some of the salt of the earth and will sadly miss people like John.
