Lori and Family we are so very sorry to learn of your Dads passing. We recall many warm, loving references made over the years about your Dad, you were clearly his girl. The loss is surely immense.
To all of you, take extra good care of yourselves and of each other as you travel this road together. You can trust your Dad will be providing direction and support every step of the way, just look for the signs, they’ll be there.
Love and Big hugs from Garry and Joannie Coffin, Stephenville

Bonnie and I moved next door to the Bakers in Milton in the early 70th I was a young green RCMP officer and the party began. John and Joan along with friends Ed and Mildred made us feel at home. The Sat. night parties in the old Bakers body shop were special but we never got use to the smell of 100 Turr livers and hearts on a wood stove in the garage.. In the later years we would see each other at the Caribou games. So sorry Joan for your lose. Terry and Bonnie.

Joan and Family. Saddened to hear of John’s death. I just received the news last evening from my brother back in Canada. Joan, the thoughts of good times will certainly help at such a troubled time. I’ve know both of you since since the road to Monroe was still gravel. Take care. Deepest sympathy and lots of love. Don Pelley (Harcourt).
