My deepest condolences on the loss of such a wonderful man. His spirit was to be admired and his laughter lit up any room he was in. Jean-Guy was so athletic and played all kinds of sports. He was a very welcoming & warm personality. You will be missed, mon ami! Thoughts & prayers to Julie and the boys. Take care, Madelon & girls.

We enjoyed the company of Jean-Guy when trimming our horses feet. Our daughters went to SOSS with his sons and I worked at the hospital with Julie. He had a good sense of humor and enjoyed life.

Relation: Farrier
Dear Julie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. We loved Jean-Guy and I can still hear his joyous laugh; I was so happy to find out he was golfing every day he could. He always told stories about all the sports he was into and the great family he has.
From: Mary, Dora and Luke Simonin
Relation: 20 plus years as our farrier
Dearest Julie, We had heard you were facing challenging times so it was not a complete surprise to see that lovely smiling face of his in the paper.But we are sad about it and wish you and your boys some serenity and peace amongst it all. We always enjoyed seeing him. Loved that laugh of his. Teased him about the strength of the wind when he had his board with him… if he’d be leaving early! His energy shots of dates, he swore by them. He had great stories. Some of his early adventures in Naramata, most memorably skinny swimming in the waters off the Stone House. Our experience of him was as a good man with integrity, humour and kindness. Thank you for posting such a great picture. We are thinking of you and wishing you well.
