John Lee
When I began to investigate the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, John was one of my missionaries. He confirmed me a member of the achurch at that time. He was fun to be with and stayed a friend in those early years of membership. After his mission, John boarded with my husband and me. We had moved into my grandfather’s house after he passed away. I still had some old suits that belonged to my grandfather in the closet in John’s room after he moved in so I cleared them out, and dropped them in the Goodwill donation box. When John came home that night, he asked me where I had put HIS suit! Some kind souls had given him a good used suit and I had given it away! I called Goodwill they assured me it would have already been picked up so John and I went downtown to their warehouse to look for it! The first thing we encountered was a literal mountain of clothes! It was a staggering sight! The workers assured us, a good suit would have been sorted right away. So, we headed to the suit room. There must have been hundreds and hundreds of suits in a room the size of a double gym! We just looked at each other and shook our heads. John, bless him, walked away without his suit that day and let me off the hook (pun intended) for giving his away.
When we moved a few months later, John came with us. He was there one Saturday morning when a terrible smell pervaded the house. I roused everyone and called the fire department. I was sure the house would catch on fire or blow up and we’d only lived there two weeks! It turned out to be ammonia used as a coolant in an old fridge kindly left behind for us in the basement by the previous owners! John took it all in stride with good humour. It was an interesting way to meet our neighbours!
Each of us will have our own unique memories of John. I was so pleased to read about his family, children and grandchildren and all of the work he did and things he accomplished along with his spirit of volunteering.
My thoughts are with all of you at this time. I was glad to know this young man whose willingness to serve a
Mission was part of his gift to me and in turn, my own family.

I was shocked, as was most of you also, when I heard of his passing. How very sad. I wish you and your family all the peace and love your Heavenly Father has in store for you in your time of mourning.

I recall so vividly the wonderful experiences John and I had as home teaching companions for several years in Barrie ON. I got to know him as a friend and a brother. Yes, he truly had a big heart and the courage to endure the challenging trials and disappointments of life with humour and positivity.

My sympathies to the family. I remember Jeff from Chapel Hill Ward; I remember his sense of humour, his love of the gospel and most especially his love for his children. He spoke about them often. I hope that good memories sustain you all at this time.

Good morning. It is with a heavy heart that I express my condolences. I am a teacher at Adult High School and I worked with Jeff (that is the name he went by at school) at our Breakfast Club for several years. He was so hardworking, positive, friendly---a real star at our school. Whatever we needed, he would volunteer his time to help us. I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies.
Sincerely,
