September 26, 2025 at 11:14 amTo the Benoit family. My deepest sympathy to you. John was a fellow Comrade at the Clarenville Legion and friend. I have nothing but pleasant memories of him. I can still see the smile on his face and the pleasant chuckle when a lobster grabbed unto my finger as we were preparing for one of our many lobster dinners at the Legion. Enjoy the great memories, it will help during this time of sorrow.
