Posted on: Thursday, May 21, 2026John sure was a presence on Wenderly Drive. He always had time for a friendly chat, especially about gardening. He certainly kept the front garden as a lovely example of lawn-free landscaping.
We have expressed our deepest condolences to Rhonda and Robb through this journey of loss and remembrance.
John is greatly missed.
