To Johns family, our prayers and thoughts are with you as you cope with the loss of a very special man. Know that the good Lord has taken John into his kingdom away from the pains and hurts that life sometimes gives us.
John, you were taken away from us much too soon but in your time with us you gave and accomplished more than any two life times could achieve. Your contribution to this community is beyond compare. I remember the many meetings with you as Councilor then Mayor and then working together to be elected M.L.A. for Boundry Simillkameen. Through all of these accomplishments and giving of yourself to us, you always maintained your humility and sense of humour that is rarely seen by us everyday people. This community feels empty without your prescence and we will sorely miss the special touch you gave to all of us. We take comfort in knowing that you are beyond pain.
Please give Terry Yusep our best and continue your discussion about which one of you has the best idea for the betterment of our community. Be safe and secure in God’s hands.
Adios Amigo.
Love Derek and Eileen Noske

We were as surprised and stunned as everyone at John’s death. We knew and loved him as a friend and neighbour. Our sincere condolences to his family and all his friends. John was an important and dedicated Osoyoos citizen…the more important the loss the greater the pain. Sincerely, The Turner’s

To John’s family and friends I send heartfelt condolences on his passing. I have many happy memories of John and particularly how he was always willing to help others.
