Loving and cherished father of Noelle Martin and her husband Ross of London. Predeceased by his parents Nicolas and Mary Calvert. Dear brother of Sandy McFarlane and her husband Bruce.

Sharon, Noelle and Family,
Words can not express our feelings at this time. We are deeply saddened by the loss of John. Although we knew John only a short time we felt his warmth and friendship.
With sincere sympathy,
Sandra and Peter Kleinstiver
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Sharon, I was so saddened to read of Johns death. Since high school, we’d only reconnected at our 50th reunion, I could see that your life was truly happy. Our sincerest condolences to yourself and Noelle.
Sharon, words cannot express how deeply saddened we are upon hearing of John’s passing. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you and your family. John will remain in your heart forever and always.
We were shocked and saddened to learn of John’s sudden passing. We offer our deepest sympathy to Sharon and other members of John’s and Sharon’s families. We felt that as new neighbours we were just starting to get to know John and Sharon, and we are so sorry that we will not now have the opportunity to get to know John better.
Sharon:
I am shocked beyond belief at the news of John’s passing in the prime of life. I am sitting here just remembering how I so enjoyed his happy disposition during our bantering sessions, often over his beloved car.
May God give you strength and comfort you in your time of grief.
Sincerely
John Patterson
Dear Sharon:
We wish to express our sincere condonlences to you and your family. We’ve lost our good friend so suddenly and no word for our sorrow.
Dearest Sharen, Noel and son-in-law Ross. Sadden beyond belief at such a sudden passing. John is someone we will not forget. His charm, his smile, his wit and most of all his infectious warm smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both today and in the future.
Words feel so inadequate at a time like this. We just want you to know that we are thinking of you, Ross and Noelle, and praying for the comfort of friends and family and treasured memories to be your strength right now and in the days ahead.
Dear Sharon and Noelle:
To read and hear of John’s passing brought us such emotions: shock and disbelief and great sadness! We shall always miss his smile and happy disposition! The world and most specifically you Sharon (his soul mate) have lost a great man! Your family will be in our thoughts! May the next few days, weeks and months bring you some comfort in these difficult times.
Sharon: Words seem so inadequate at this time, but please accept our most sincere condolences in the loss of John. Our thought are with you and yours.

Dear Sharon
Shock and disbelief! I am so very sorry for you and your family , and I hasten to bring you my very sincere condolences. With them goes the hope that you will find strength from the presence of your family and the many feelings of support expressed by the friends here and elsewhere.
John was too young, too active and vital for this. As a physician I can only imagine some cardiac cause at work.
My memories of him surround the wonderful care he lavished on that white series 7 BMW that was an example to all us car buffs.
Sincerely
John Kaufmann.
Sharon, Noelle and family, we just wanted you to know we are thinking of you at this difficult time. May you get the strength from your family and friends at the time most needed.

Dear Sharon, Noelle and family,
We were very saddened to hear of John’s sudden passing. I believe that we last saw eachother at Aunt Dot’s 80th, which doesn’t seem long ago. But already a couple of years has slipped by. I remember that John so willingly took care of registration for the event.
Our love and thoughts are with you.

Sharon and Noelle,
I want to let you know that I was so shocked to learn of the passing of your husband and Noelle, your father. As we were all golfing together last Tuesday, I thought to myself what a wonderful mother and daughter team your are! Your strength and closeness will get you through this trying time. Noelle, I lost my father when I was your age, and I can truly say that you will get an inner strength that will last forever. My prayers are with you both! Take care…

Sharon, life passes far too swiftly and to have it end so soon for John seems wrong.Try to remember the “Dash” in John’s and your life together – all of the wonderful moments and times between the beginning “-” end. John was a great man whom we will all miss dearly.

I had the pleasure of being on the same Regional Team as John at Sun Life in Waterloo. I was very sadden to hear of John’s death. He was a wonderful person to work with and I know he will be greatly missed. You may recall the last time we were together was for a Christmas dinner where the Central Regional Team met at a restaurant in Stratford. Lloyd and I have fond memories of this get together and will cherish the wonderful memory we have of John that evening.
God bless and keep you and your family.

Dear Sharon, I was so sad to hear of John’s passing. He was a great man and we always appreciated his visits to the prairies, the expertise that he shared with us, the fun we had with him. I appreciate the interest he took in my career and success and know that he helped the career of so many advisors.

Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your husband and father. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

When John’s close friend Darrell phoned to tell us of his “brother” having died suddenly, we were struck with disbelief. Memories of John go back to South Collegiate where I had the pleasure of seeing him five days a week in the History Class I taught. He is fresh in my mind as a frequently smiling, alert person who had an unusual, even charismatic persona. Over time, his often shared life journey with Darrell Wells continued and their loyalty to one another became evident when Darrell’s “Cal” went well outside his own comfort zone to help his friend.
God gave us a special, kind, generous person who shined light into many lives. While no words can adequately express our sympathy to his family and those who loved him, John has truly left a great legacy of goodness which has enriched our lives.
Sharon and Noelle,
I will treasure being witness to the brotherhood-bond that John and Darrell shared and will forever cherish the many blessed memories I have of the two of them together.
They often had me laughing until I cried. John was such a joy to both our lives and we will miss him beyond words.
“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” (Kahlil Gibran)
My thoughts and my prayers are with you.
