Legacy of Love – Unknown
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a husband not just as a father.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep

May 8, 2021 at 12:54 pmMy deepest condolences to the family of John. I met John through his work with my grandparents, Ross and Norah Finch at Polar Star Lodge. My first recollection was when John took me, my cousin Jason Finch, and my grandpa trout fishing on Lake Mameigwess in the early 80s.
John was a kind man. I would run into him from time to time he would always asked how my mother ( Laurie Desautels (Finch) was doing.
What I appreciate the most of John was after my grandpa passed away, he would still go up to the camp and visit my grandmother and have tea with her until she passed away. He was a very kind man.
Take care,
Todd Desautels
