Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love Dan and Robyn...

Trudy & family: my sincere sympathy to you in your loss of John. I recall your friendship when our young people went to O.L.O.L I think my late husband (Laverne) had your children on his school bus. It was always a pleasure to meet you and John and have a visit. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
Remember our last music outing at the mall. Miss you dad/John
To all of the Goertz Family, We remember him well, always so hard working and a good, friendly neighbour, as all of you were. Bob and Barb Howlett
