I am proud to say I considered him a friend and an inspiration. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find a single soul that ever met him that would say his strength of conviction didn't rub off on them just being in the same room.
In recent days he was the strength of the Liberal Party in Burlington. But on all days he was the inspiration to many. He will be missed by all. He who did so much for so many. The world was a much nicer place with him here.
A message from Arlene:
Hello everyone,
John passed away yesterday, Tuesday March 15, 2011 at 7:45 pm at Joseph Brant Memorial hospital after a two month-long battle with pancreatic cancer. He died peacefully in his sleep. Information about a memorial service will be forthcoming.

Sincerely,
