My dear Carol,and children . How can words express our condolences to you,on hearing such sad news ? John was a fellow that will forever be in our memory. So many wonderful fun times we all had together when we were young. Although life and our living away for so long, didn’t allow the four of us to spend much time together over the past years, John will be remembered as a friend who will never be forgotten. I remember his laugh, his kindness and his love of his car. But never as much love as he showed to my sweet friend Carol.,
Mackie and Baeb Cook, send our deepest sympathies and love .

I cannot say enough about what a wonderful person John was. His generosity, smile, and never-ending giving of himself and candy will always be remembered. I will always remember John with a smile, driving Walter and myself around as newlyweds. Thank you John for being part of my special day and the special days of so many others.

My heartfelt condolences to the Crilley family. John was one of the best! He was such a kind man, who always treated everyone the same, with love and kindness. His patterned "HI Fella" followed by that beautiful smile is something I will miss. The Crilley family has always been a big supporter of other families, mine included in there. Thinking of Carol, Ed, Tricia, Jen and David, and the rest of Johns' family affected by his loss.

Carol and family. I didn't know John (I think I may have met him once or twice) but I have known you for many many years beginning back when we both lived at 40 Millidge Ave. in the north end (and that goes back many many years!!). Our mutual friend Sharron has kept me informed and told me Sunday John was in pallative care and yesterday she called and told me he had passed away. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and know that I am and will be thinking of you as you walk this journey now and in the days to come. Go rest high on that mountain, John, your work on earth is done (and after reading the obit what a wonderful job you did!!). Carol and family what a lovely picture of John you chose.

Carol, Tricia, Jen, Ed and Dave; We are so very sorry for the passing of John, your dear husband and father and a cherished friend to us and so many. His life was one of service as he was always the first to lend a hand, offer a drive, wash your car, hand out a treat, invite you in for a visit or meal, or use his truck and muscle to help with a need. He will be sadly missed but having many wonderful (and funny) stories and memories of John will keep him with us 'til we meet again.
Sending our deepest sympathy and love to you all, Charyl and Dean Bowman "Families Are Forever"

Last I remember i was at church when he called ne back to give me chocolate. I also remember the baseball games in Quispamsis. They brought extra bats because you just knew he would hit a home run. He would inevitably crack the bat. They were the best! he was a very compassionate person. He will be missed.

Oh My Carol .. such a harsh road you walk this week.. my heart is with you and your family .. John was such a special man .. so kind .. I have kept all of my moments shared with you and your family close .. Special times that I will always hold dear. I'm sitting here ..and as they lay the Queen to rest .. and can't help but picture John.. racing and catching up to Elizabeth on that great stairway .. taking her by her arm and sharing some of their humorous memories that they will each be taking with them ... sharing giggles all the way up .. until John passes her arm off to Philip... . just a passing thought .. LOL .. they both loved some humor eh? .. Hold your memories Carol .. and may they bring comfort in the days to come .. I will be thinking of you all in my prayers <3 Love and very Sincere Hugs.
