Dear Mary, Harv, Cheryl and Ken:
Pat and I are shocked and grieved at Joohn's sudden passing. We are left to remember his effervescent personality, his sparkling smile, his huge warmth and his wonderful friendship. In the past week Pat was commenting that I needed to call John to see if we could rendez-vous again for another relaxing and fun canoe trip. As you remember Mary we were the two "grumpy old men" who climbed into the old gray pontiac with the aluminum canoe on top, with a trunk full of grub and a sleeping bag that was suppose to fit John but was your bag (small)packed in haste . John was so patient with me insisting on bringing our dog Zeus who love to share our 3 person tent and bags when it was cold at night.... was something to remember.
As you may know we really were sad when you left Ottawa and knew we were going to miss the wonderful visits of such good friends, but over the last 4 years we always felt privilidged and excited to hear from you and to hear of your new and exciting adventures. And in many ways hope that at some point in the near future we would again cross paths to sit together and share a good bottle of wine and the warmth of your company.
Sadly we are further away from Winnipeg whan we want to be on this sad occasion as we are having a 1 week vacation at Pat's sister's time-share in Fairmont and on Saturday are on our way to Edmonton to spend some time with Pat's ailing Mother (86) who's
health is very poor.
Hopefully in the not to distant future we will have the opportunity to be there for you and give you the hugs and love that we are unable to do today.
All our love
Jim and Pat McKenzie, Ottawa
