John WORLEY Obituary

In memory of a wonderful husband, dad, uncle and friend to many. A kind, gentle and generous soul who left a big mark in this world. RIP John x

Dear Jane and Family,

My sincere condolences to you and the family at such a very sad time. I think of John as so stedfast and true and still can't believe he has gone. Over the years it has always been so lovely to catch up here or at Bethells when Richard is in town. You both have been so kind and accomodating to our family. You are in my thoughts xx

Dear Jane and Family

My heartfelt condolences to you, Joe, Emma and Ethan. John's passing was so sudden and shocking I still cannot believe this has happened. You all have been such a big part of our lives over the years I can only imagine your grief at losing your soul mate Jane. When you said he was your "North Star" i thought that summed up your love for each other perfectly. We are so sorry and sad he is no longer with us. A couple of years ago when I was going through a rough time - John took me out to the Barrier with Richard, and he was so kind and generous to me. You both have been so much to our family over the years. I have you in my thoughts and can only hope the comfort of your close knit family can help you through the sorrow of his passing. A great man gone to soon. All my love and respect to you. Felicity xxoo

Truly saddened by the news of John's sudden passing. I met him and Jane on Saltspring Island BC in the 1970's and I remember him as everyone's favorite "Kiwi". He was one of a kind that is for sure. We met again when I traveled to NZ in the early 90"s. He was the same person I had met on Saltspring. Fun loving, adventurous and generous. A wonderful family man. My heart goes out to Jane, Joe, Emma and Ethan. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Jane, kids and family,
It comes with shock and deep sadness after hearing of John's passing.
I am still numb and left wondering how this could happen to such a unique person.
Since meeting John in 1976 during his sailing adventure to Canada and various encounters over the years I have many many fond memories of John and Jane. He was truly one of the good ones. He was like a brother to me.
He was a man that was a friend to all, generous, adventurous, kind, a great husband, loving father and so much more.
I am a better man for having know him and he will be missed forever.
Condolences to Jane and all the family from myself and all my family.

So sorry to hear the news. Such a great genuine guy. Heartfelt condolences to all the family. A terrible tragedy. We are overseas so unfortunately couldn't be at funeral to show our respect. Love Mick, Fay and John Worthington

There are no words to describe the sadness we all feel with dear John's passing. Every wonderful description of John's character has been expressed by so many people that loved him.
Jane and all the family, we are with you in your grief. Much love.

Dear Jane and family,

So sorry to hear about John.

John Worley- full of fun and mischief! Kind-hearted, genuine, one of life's " good guys"!
Will be sadly missed...

It is with huge sadness that I read of John's passing. I attended Swanson School with John and all the Worley children up until 1964 when we moved on to high school - I have not seen John since, that is not to say I have never thought of him over the years - I have, along with all our other school mates. What a great guy John was - even back then at the age of 13 he was a true gentleman. We all had so much fun at our breaks playing 4 square (John was like the leader) and I always recall I liked playing "marbles" with him as he was really good and had some "cool" marbles - ones you never traded with anyone else. When we did folk dancing all us girls would get the giggles when we had to hold John's hand - everyone had a soft spot for him.
My sincere condolences to all the Worley family - my thoughts are with you

So sorry to hear about John. We lost contact over the years but I have fond memories of the hi-jinks we all got up to in the early 70s in the Chevvie. He was always his own person.
