Rest peacefully, John. You are finally at home.
I met Grandcousin John only briefly when I came over to Edmonton from Austria on short visits to my extended Canadian Family. I remember him as a decent guy who was easy to speak to. It made me sad to learn that he passed away.
I send my deepest condolences to his Sister, Brothers, Sister in Law and all the rest of the Family.
Anton, Johanna and Family from Austria
You will be missed Uncle John. Wish I could have seen you one more time. Thank you for all the amazing childhood memories
