Condolence: Velma and family
So sorry to hear of John’s passing. He was always such a kind, jovial and approachable pastor. I was very glad that Kelly and Alison, as young children, had the good fortune to be led by you and John in your ministry at Chatham Baptist Church. We know he is in a wonderful place but our hearts go out to you in support as I am sure it is hard to carry on without him. Although we will not be able to attend the funeral we will be thinking of you at this difficult time.

Condolence: Everything good and great about your Dad are in your genes Steve. I am so sorry for the loss your family is experiencing. Rev. John Smith must have been a great Dad - for you shared that trait.

Condolence: Velma and family. I would like to offer our condolences
To you and your family. He was truly meant to be a minister. I well remember Rev John coming for lunch after his service at the Eagle Lake Community Church. Rev John married Dennis and I ,in Haliburton 48 yrs ago. He was the only pastor I have had. He will be missed.

Condolence: Dear Velma,
We are so sorry for the void you have as John is gone. We are praying for you. We thought so much of John and think so much of you. What a legacy he has left.

Condolence: We are very sad to hear the news of 'the Rev' -Rev. John Smith passing. We lived in Haliburton and Rev. Smith, Velma and their fantastic children were a big part of our world.

Rev. Smith always had a smile and a twinkle in his eyes. We always enjoyed running into him at sports events or just in the streets in Haliburton.

We will certainly remember Rev. Smith very fondly. Our condolences to the Smith family. We share in your loss.

Condolence: Velma and family we are so sad to hear of Uncle John's passing. Out thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May the knowledge that John lived to love the Lord and is in his presence today bring you comfort.

Condolence: Dear Velma & Family,
How can Emily & I express our true feelings to you about how sorry & how happy that John is with the Man that he is with today. He preached from his heart & you know that he will be missed, but you must have comfort to know he has been welcomed to home by the Savior. He was well respected not only as a minister but a very active person in the Haliburton community. The LaRue family of who I am speaking for felt that John was like part of our life. He & Mom were so very close. We always appreciated how he supported us, travelling with Dad to watch me play hockey at the Gardens, marrying 3 of our 4 children & coming to the rededication of the arena into the A.J. LaRue Community Centre. Velma, we are thinking about you & the family at this time. God Bless You All. I would hope that you & John enjoyed the small snippet of home movie that A.J. took years ago. Emily & I would be at the service, but we are in Myrtle Beach SC.
Love to all of you,
Scotty & Emily & Family.
