Dear Diane
You have our sincere condolences from the Clayton family. Your dad has been a part of our life for over 30 years and apart of our family. He will be truly missed. We have many good memories of John with many of his life stories. He was one of a kind, funny and stubborn at the same time. lol May his soul be at peace now. God Bless

He will be very missed by us all here in Halifax. Many great memories with him, he loved fishing and would take my kids with him sometimes. He has been part of our lives since I was very young and considered uncle by us and our kids. He would always call me to cut his hair and when he was in his prime he loved working on cars and would help me with fixing things on my car all the time. A man of few words sometimes but he had the biggest heart that we could ever ask for. Although we can’t go visit him now he will forever be in our hearts. Condolences to you, and may he rest easy now and find peace with his loved ones gone before him.
