John baptized (Adult) me in 1981 in Havelock. What I remember best was his warmth and sense of humour. I remember telling him I was a Habs fan and him saying he wasn't going to do the Baptism then. After a brief moment of uncertainty he laughed and said, "You're young, there's time for you to repent."
The first homily I heard him give was on tything. He grabbed me after the service and said, "Honestly, we almost never talk about money." I took his word for it and went back the next Sunday. He demonstrated what I feel has been missing from the church in recent times....kindness and compassion. Thanks for bringing me in Mr. Sharp....sorry still a Habs fan!

John married us, cared for our family when my Dad was dying and went on to babtize our 3 children. I was very sad when John retired but when I saw him out and about he always greeted me with a big smile and asked about my family. Our condolences to his family. John was a kind and very special man.

Bill and I send our heartfelt sympathy to you Cynthia and your family. Praying for all of you and asking God to carry you in his loving arms and give you strength as you all grieve together. We will miss John, may he rest in peace.
I first met John when he was visiting my mum at the hospital in 2021. I was new to the area, I stepped off the elevator and he called out my sister’s name , he thought I was Debbie. I told John , I was Debbie’s twin sister, after the surprise had worn off that there were two of us. John kindly guided me in the right direction to the nurse’s station and showed me to my mum’s room. I was a stranger to him and still he looked after me, as we know now after 2 years he looked after everyone he met as he travelled through life.

Hi Cynthia & Family
I was talking with Kay Waye last evening and she informed me of John's passing. It certainly brought back a lot of memories of the times we spent together at National Church meetings and going to the Maple Leafs games together. Both Joan & I remember the times when we were able to have some quality time with you both. John was indeed a faithful servant and I/we cannot add any more than has ben said in the obituary. We are thinking of you all and be assured of our thoughts and prayers. "Well done Thou good and faithful Servant"

Over the years, John (and Cynthia) became like a member of our family, and his kindness and friendship left a lasting impression on us all. May he rest in peace in the loving arms of the Lord.

So saddened to hear about John’s passing. Remembering all the fun we had as children. John and I would get in the back of the shop and listen to the hockey game on radio. Him cheering for Toronto and me for Montreal. He was quiet and mild but he also had the devilish side of the Sharpe’s. Please accept my deepest condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. RIP my dear cousin.

Cynthia, I'm very sad to hear of John's passing. He did so much for people on this earth his memory will never be forgotten. Your love for each other was a beautiful thing to witness and I treasure all the time I did get to spend with you over the years. His love for family was as important as his love for God. He was an amazing man of God, father, husband , grandfather and friend to everyone who knew him. I know he is now safe in the arms of his dear mother who loved him so much. Rest in Peace John, you will never be forgotten.

Aunt Cynthia, Joanne, JT, and Family, so very saddened to hear about Uncle John's passing. I remember, as a small child, how excited we would be, when you guys came to visit. Bev and I, actually, packed a cardboard box, with clothes, so we could go on the plane, with Uncle John. Harvey and Mary drove us to the airport, with our boxes...lol. We were a little disappointed, when we couldn't get on the plane, but happy just to watch the plane take off. Every year, we would wait, excitedly, at Nan's, to see you all. Uncle John was loved and respected by the whole community, in St. Philips. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending my love to all. XO Donna.

I met John at the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada in Montreal in 1998. We were placed at the same table together--and although we disagreed on some issues, his warmth and friendship were a great gift. Our paths crossed over the years; I was very blessed by him, and send my deepest condolences to his family. Sincerely, Peter (the Very Reverend Peter G. Elliott, Vancouver BC)

Cynthia and Family, Ed and Hilda and all the Sharpe Family,
I am so sorry to hear the news of Johns sudden passing. There are just no words to say to help with your grief at this very difficult time.
John was such a special caring person and will be forever remembered by all of us who were so Blessed to have known him.
John was always there for everyone and I remember when Dad passed in July/1999, John and Cynthia were home on vacation at the time and we were so happy that John could do Dads service for us. It really meant a lot to our Tucker Family.
Hold all your special memories of him close to your hearts and it will comfort you in the days ahead.
Soar High John and rest easy on that mountain and keep a watch over us all.
God Bless and Comfort you all.
Sending much Love and Caring Hugs

The Marshall family of Riverview sends condolences. John was the rector at St. John the Baptist when we moved to the community. I hold fond memories of John training me with several other youth as altar servers. We were hushed during services if we were too noisy, and sneakers with our gowns were a real no-no! What a lovely, warm, caring man who was an example to us all as he walked with God throughout his life. We feel sad that the world has lost a great man, but happy for John who can now see his creator face-to-face.
