Sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. Memories of the "Mackenzie Days" will always remain.

I have so many fond childhood memories of John, Mitzie & family. The dinners at Laffreys, get togethers at their home and my parents home. I will never forget that distinctive voice... I'm so glad we got together with Mitzie, Nicole, Kevin & John last November,  we didn't know at the time it would be the last time we'd see him. He left too soon and he will be missed.

Mitzi so sorry for the loss of your husband. He will be missed on Sunday nights at bingo. May God see you through the hard times ahead.

Mitzi,  We were all so saddened to learn of John's passing recently.  You both add so much pleasure to our little Sunday night group!!  We are keeping you and the family in our thoughts and prayers!!

To Mitzie, John, Steve, Aeron, Greg, and Nicole and your families. Usually, as you know, I am not at a loss for words but I can not find the words to express my sadness I feel for all of you. I'll always remember the friendship and countless memories throughout the years - not to mention the countless stories I'll have to remember John by. I'll always be happy to say he was my friend and he will be truly missed.

John was and is a source of joy for me in his enthusiasm and his joy of life. I wish all the family so much in dealing with his passing. Grief is around us and with us even as we cherish how fortunate we were to have John. I admire the way way John and Mitzie have emitted happiness to so many in their family and community through their obvious love for and through one another. I have always been uplifted in their company and happy to have such dear people as friends. God bless you all!
