Death notice for the town of: Calgary, Province: Alberta
I met John (as I knew him) when he started having lunches with us at the Calgary Church of Christ in February 2016. Thank you for sharing this picture of him in his youth – I love it! He loved his family very much. I have grieved over his passing and am thankful he is at peace now.
