To John’s family,
I just wanted to let you know that we are saddened to hear of John’s passing.
He was a great friend of McKenzie Centre, especially before retiring to Cambridge. We really appreciated his generosity and steady support for what we do.
It’s comforting to know that he passed away peacefully.
Our condolences to you all,
from the staff and families at McKenzie Centre
Although I never had the privilege of meeting John in person, I’m deeply grateful for the way he came into Vicki’s life and became such an important part of it.
His presence brought her joy, comfort, and unwavering companionship, qualities that resonated with everyone who cares about her. I’ll always remember the warmth that came through during my conversations with Vicki, and the thoughtful advice and support he offered her. His gentle spirit was unmistakable, even in those brief moments.
Thank you, John, for the love you gave and the light you brought into her world. RIP. 🙌
Rest in peace john
