I wish to extend to Joan and her family my deepest expression of sympathy in their loss of John. I am pleased that he enjoyed his retirement years, because it is true: "never enough hours in the day." Robert Browning said it best: old age is "the end of life for which the first was made." I would say that John led and enjoyed a life of fulfillment.

Dear Joan: Our prayers have been with you for quite a while. We met Johnny for the first time when you had the Middleton group gathering at your place. Johnny took the time to show us around the gardens/ Barb being the gardener was impressed and delighted. She spoke of him often.

Mom and I are at the community centre trying to watch the funeral on webcast but for some reason it is not available to us at this time. Uncle Johnny will be laughing at us swearing, and wondering why the heck we can't get a connection. We are thinking about everyone at this time and hope your day goes well. All our Love to everyone.

Such fond memories of Uncle Johnny. He was always an amazing athlete, handsome, and a true gentleman. He made everyone he met feel "sooooo gooood", . We all learned a lot from him about the importance community service, breaking a sweat everyday, being kind and positive and of marking special events with "little toasts". With that the Pennsylvania clan would like to raise their glass (later) and remember the best uncle ever. Love to you all.

So sorry to learn of Mr. Byrne's death. I guess when I saw Nancy and Miriam at Frency's I just thought they were home for a visit. I was one of the cleaningcrew at his home for many years, and could always count on a friendly comment from him. Andrew and I send our sympathies.
