Learning about John death today. Deeply saddened. Just today morning only I was thinking about him. John hired me to manage the technical side of his company Nvisible links. My interview and discussion regarding his company was at this home in owen sound. Me and my family drove to owen sound from Toronto. He and Lynne welcomed us with warm hearts. It was fun working with John. He even paid for my moving from toronto to owen sound. He even arranged a temporary bungalow for our stay, which also had a swimming pool 🙂 the house owners of the bungalow were also there. They cooked and shared food with us. it was a memorable experience. He invited me for christmas at his new home in Wiarton. We travelled across owen sound to deploy wireless high speed connection. So many fond memories and it will always in my heart… You will be missed my friend.. Rest in peace.
Forever Missed
Always remembered
My friend John
Rest In Peace
