Absolutely devastated that the world has lost of the good guys. John will always be remembered as one of the kindest, most thoughtful and charming people to ever walk the earth. John could always cheer you up when you were having a bad day, and never failed to have a smile on his face and put a smile on the face of everyone who crossed his path. Sending lots of love to Heather and family and remembering how much joy your beloved John brought to the world. We feel honoured to have called him a friend. Will always miss him.

Heather and family, I am so very sorry; you and John hold a place in my heart for helping me take care of my family when we needed it most. Heather, I know you’ve lost your best friend and nothing can ever replace that; thankfully you have so many great memories. And Jack, Leah, and Andrew I hope you can always cling to the amazing role model you’ve had in your Dad. He would do anything to help our hockey family, any place you guys were (Jack and Leah) he was there. It never failed to see him at the rink watching and protecting you as you would referee, or just being there for you at games and practices. He can never be forgotten; just a salt of the earth man. I’m so sorry for your loss. ~Nicole

It is with deepest saddening to say:Goodbye:"Johnny" (John Leo Porter)t+(C.B..handle"Leman's")back in the day when we were ambulance and fire chaser's to seek out any kind of adventurous drive's on developing new's and such.. to be some what first at the scene..! lol.
the weekend party's were alway's a must for us to enjoy. the kitchen party's were the best til' the local police would show up to tell us to keep it down(loud music& singing to the top of our lung's to bob seiger's song Old time rock and roll".
and let's not forget the clubbing scene of the old Lighthouse pub market Sq. and who could forget the 1880's on sydney st.
most time's johnny would be our D and D (designated driver},he just enjoyed the driving aspect and getting his friend's home safely. such a thoughtful person that way.
As time went on it was wonderful seeing johnny's life unfold together and mature as he became much more then a friend..but a wonderful brother and Son also uncle ,husband,a father a home owner a responsible hard working Man to provide for his wife(heather taylor) and raise three wonderful children..Andrew a.k.a.(fred) Leah,and of course jack.
As time drifted on johnny and i kinda took to seperate roads in life but always made sure we kept in touch throught out life no matter what was going on we would always catch up on thing's and life.. i was alway's able to raid his fridge for a drink or two and a a nice sandwhich ,just like it was my own home,i alway's felt welcomed there, and meeting johnny's new friend's and heather's friend's.
it was quite a colaboration of us all at one time enjoying good times,camping trip's together(i was told i had a good time as i would tell johnny as well ha,ha,ha.
My Dearest Friend; Johnny there will always be a time and place for you in my heart and mind for you,nothing but good memories ,adventure's will alway's be with me.. and other's that you always came in contact with over the years.
without a single regret of ever being around you my dear friend,i celebrate your wonderful life Now and alway's
Bobby V.Nickerson.
