Vancouver Sun post by former co-worker of John's

Hi everyone,

Below is a post submitted to the Vancouver Sun's memorial guest book page yesterday.

The link to the guest book page in the Sun is: http://www.legacy.com/can-vancouver/Obituaries.asp?Page=GBGateway (enter John Joseph Ford in the search field).

I had the pleasure of working with John at the UBC Bookstore and found him to be a kind, generous and supportive colleague. He was always full of humour and was much missed when he left the Bookstore.

My sympathy goes out to John's family and friends. Florence McGregor-Foxcroft (Vancouver, BC )

You need not be a Ford to tell John stories.

Bochsler Family Update

Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

Mark Simmonds is home!

I just called Fenwick to see how Mark was and i was surprised to see he came home today (Tuesday). Mark had a Angioplasty. He is very tired and happy to be home.

Some of Paul Bochsler's pictures

I took a million silly pictures, thank goodness some of y'all were taking the same shot and are better photographers, but here are a few from my camera's perspective. Gosh, I'm trying to upload a zillion of them and it only takes four at a time. Bear with me. Note the 'two Jacks', 'Peter, Paul & Mary', and the oldest and youngest of the cousins. Paul
