To the Kornelsen's My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Although I did not know John in his later years I do remember the good times we shared when I was a kid. We had many tractor rides and bon fires in his backyard. My heart is with you, Andrea and Drew. He was a great father and I know he loved you both very much. John's spirit will go on through his kids, his wonderful wife, Sherry and all of us who remember John for the amazing man he was. May God be with you all. Rhonda.

To Sherry, Andrea and Drew; Marg, Ruth and Herb. May the pain of your loss soon give way to lasting, happy memories of good times with John. God bless. Karin, Carol, and John Hildebrand

Dear Sherry, Andrea and Drew, Paul and I are so sorry about your loss. John was such a nice person and just fun to be around. Our prayers are with all of you. We hope you have many wonderful memories to treasure in your heart forever.

I have fond memories of afternoons spent at the Kornelson home in Wheatley. When I was small, my Mom (nee Hilda Kornelson) left me with Uncle Henry and Aunt Mary on occasion, and those two had to be the kindest people on earth, and Johnny the most fun. So sorry for your loss, Larry Dick

Dear Sherry and Family, We are so very sorry for your loss. John was a volunteer driver for the Canadian Cancer Society who showed his courage and generosity by helping others. Our sincere sympathy from the staff and volunteers of the Cancer Society.

Dear Sherry & Family, We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Love Jen & Pat

Sherry, Andrea & John, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Being a part of John's courageous battle was an inspiration to us all and his positive attitude touched many lives. John you will be missed but not forgotten. Sincere Sympathy, Sherri (Hayes) & JP Chartrand

Dear Sherry, Andrea & Drew On Jan 12th, 2009, our family lost a very close dear friend. It is very difficult to express how sorry we were to hear about John's passing. My late wife Michelle & I have known John & Sherry since the early 60's. We have shared so many fond memories during this time:--as victorious team-mates in Civic Hockey League, Sunday Night LaSalle League, in numerous Old Timer Hockey Tournaments, our annual summer golf outings, family get-togethers and John & Michelle's birthday celebrations. I wish I could pay greater tribute to John but those of us who knew John will understand. He will be greatly missed by everyone who was fortunate to share his friendship. I would like to share my sister's condolences for my late Michelle;--"There is a saying:.....We never touch someone so lightly that we never leave a trace." John certainly left his trace on all of us and I am truly thankful for that. John rest in peace,and when you see my Michelle have a martini or two and share a few laughs together, and don't show up all those heavenly team-mates of yours on the hockey and golf teams...So long my friend. ---With my deepest sympathies--Your long time friend--Ron Godwin

We would like to extend our deepest sympathies on the loss of a truly great guy. He will be sadly missed and it was a pleasure to have known such a kind and caring man. Stay strong and God bless.

We were very sorry to hear about John's death. I (Ericka) remember coming to your house in Wheatley and mostly play with Ruth Ann who was my age, but there was that "younger brother!". Our moms were sisters and very close so it was always fun to visit. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Rickey and Myron Schrag.
