Dear Family of John Wood,
I worked with John for many years at Saint John Shibbuilding mostly during the build of Tankers but some during the Frigates. I always liked John he was honest, hard working, caring, and a genuine Team player. Rest in the knowledge that he was well respected and a man of peace. He will be missed by all who knew him.

I am sorry to hear of John\’s passing. I have fond memories of your family and ours spending time as kids, with \”Uncle Dot\” and \”Aunt John\”, of a go cart that John built and meals in Long Reach with Cindy, Dot and John. My thoughts are with the whole family at this time.
