February 8, 2026 at 4:10 pmSincere condolences to all of Johnnys family & friends and to the Kemptville 73s who will definitely feel his absence. We have known Johnny for many many years as has most of our community. Johnny was funny, kind, and a hard worker and I’m sure he did more walking in this town then anyone else. I was lucky enough to have had a little visit and chat with him about a month ago and even though he wasn’t well he still had a big smile on his face. Johnny left an imprint on everyone’s heart whose lives were touched by him. Rest In Peace our dear friend we will all miss you.🙏🏻

February 15, 2026 at 8:13 amMy condolences go out to Johnny’s family and friends. I didn’t know Johnny well and we shared little more than a few hellos over the years. My involvement in minor hockey and time spent at the arenas (old and new) is how I came to know Johnny and his love for the 73s. I will miss seeing him walking in the community as will all those who knew him. RIP Johnny.
