My condolences to Marion and family on John's passing. Nothing but positive memories of John and always appreciated his kindness, wisdom, caring, and wit. Know John as a man who gave it all in all aspects of his life. His passing is a great loss his family, but also our community. I am likely on aware of a small fraction of what he has contributed to our community over the years, and know it would not be the wonderful place that it is now without him being a part of it. Thank you John! You are missed.

Dear Marion, Kim, Chrissy and Mike,
We are thinking of all of you as you navigate the tragic passing of John. We have so many fond memories of time spent with all of you throughout our entire lives. Without uncles, aunts or first cousins of our own, John was like our uncle. So supportive of all of our adventures, studies, and careers. Always a twinkle in his eye. We knew to be prepared for some good-natured teasing. When John asked how you were, he really listened, and he cared. We will miss him immensely.

We first met John 52 years ago when the two Kim’s were born and their mothers attended the same pre birth classes. For the next 5 years or so we established our own reciprocal baby sitting service. We still feel we got the better of that deal because one of our children became notorious for his toilet training while one of theirs was a notorious withholder. John and Larry cemented their relationship with a cycling trip to England. My main takeaway from that trip was how easy John was to travel with. He brought his old heavy clunker while I had a multi gear mountain bike. He never complained: he was a trooper. On that same trip I was introduced to John’s entrepreneurship. While we tried to recuperate at a village pub John eyed a pool table that was built to occupy a corner of the room. For the rest of the trip he kept talking about how this idea should be brought back to Canada. In the next phase of our relationship John demonstrated his life long ability to deal with adversity. Not possessing the greatest skill set John played a weekly hockey game with my teacher’s inter squad group. When I introduced John to sailing he showed me his delight in trying new advanced sailing manoeuvres while having no understanding of the risks involved. John was a risk taker and when he insisted a flying the spinnaker in a 25 m.p.h. downwind which had disasterous results I knew that John was destined to tackle many challenges in life. His introduction to sailing resulted in a 2 week sailing adventure in the British Virgin Islands which illustrated his knack for organization. My best memories of John centered on his ability to fairly engage in serious topics without making the conversations spill into acrimony: he was always ready to entertain contentious issues without any attempt to inflame the discussion: he was a true intellectual .Always curious ; always reading ; always engaging. We will always miss your adventurous spirit…your sense of fairness… and your ever present warm smile. Larry and Jackie Wark

Amiya & Karen Chatterjee:
Farewell to a dear friend:
I first met John in December 1975 when I joined Parke-Davis. He was part of the P-D Quality team. This first encounter marked the beginning of our longstanding friendship.
John was very committed to his work and supported everyone on the team, without hesitation. He had a gift of innovative thinking, a visionary spirit and the unwavering patience to successfully lead a team.
In addition to his devotion to work, John always found time for his colleagues, his friends and his family, especially his wife Marion and their daughters Kim, Chrissie, son Michael and their families. They were never far from his thoughts in everything he did.
How does one express the amazing essence and spirit of John, his selfless generosity, uncompromising belief in all that is good and unwavering commitment to family and friends? Words, even the very best of words, cannot pay tribute or truly capture the sense of loss that we feel.
The loss is there – tangible and real within everyone, but John’s exemplified life, love and laughter, and irrepressible belief and faith in seeing the best in everything, even loss.
Today we honour him by profoundly feeling and expressing our loss, but also remembering him as an amazing person who has played a unique and special role in all of our lives.
John, we wish you farewell in your journey to eternity. You will be in our hearts and memories. It was a privilege for us to have been a part of your life. Although much too short, it was a life well lived!
John was a caring and beloved family man, a cherished friend, will be missed by many, but never will he be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
Mr. C.
(That’s what John used to call me)

Words ...where are you?
There were two phone calls from Marion we will never forget ... the first, to tell us that John had suffered a terrible accident ...he had fallen ...it did not look good for him ... the second, that John had passed away.
Marion ...and Kimmer, Chrissie and Michael our hearts go out to you and your families. We want to wrap our arms around you all to try to console you, to tell you we know you are experiencing great pain and loss. We too feel pain and loss, not as you his family do, but as his friends. The community of John's friends.
But through all of that we also feel gratitude for the life of John Allan Taylor (as Marion addressed him when she meant business) because he was one whose example made you want to do better - to be more like John. John was a gifted man with many talents and he used them well. Just read the experiences others had of John. John's service was the evidence of things unseen - his love for his neighbour, wherever and however he found them, be they prince or be they pauper. He didn't judge anyone Marion said. True, he did not! John always made you feel that you were important to him and that your story was important to hear. John always had time for everyone. Always and Everyone!
John loved life! And he fought for it, tooth and nail! He yielded to nothing. Nothing could keep him down. Not amyloidosis! Not chemo! Not covid! Not the Leafs performance and he continued as a true blue fan. John loved his Creemore and rhubarb in the spring. Neither of which he was to take but that was part of the fighter in him. A little couldn't hurt, right?
John loved music! Well, the Beatles anyway and in particular - probably because they were from Liverpool and thus Englishmen. During his treatment and recovery period he scoured every table at garage and yard sales, at flea markets and estate sales, near and far for good vinyl records - LP's. Here too, success came to him and he collected several - several thousands so that the house is firmly anchored on Ormond Street.
John and Marion are generous far beyond what will ever be apparent to us. Just think of all the times we benefited from from their participation in charity silent auctions, church dinners, lunches. You had to resort to subterfuge in order to pay for a coffee, lunch, dinner, drink or a round of golf. He always had these tickets he had to use! But that doesn't scratch the surface.
John and I met sometime in January 1970 in the cafeteria at Parke, Davis. We were both new employees. What followed was a lifetime of friendship that included our growing families, whether we lived near or far, the friendship endured and grew to include others.
John loved to play golf and I tried. Over the years, we have played many of the area's golf courses, usually with other PD workers rounding out a foursome - beginning with the Highland after work to the Brockville country Club, Cedar Valley, Perth, Upper Canada, Rideau Lakes, Smugglers Glen and Sunnidel in later years. On the rare occasion when I would have a better score, John would not be pleased with himself. John was super competitive and usually carded the better round. Whether it was billiards at Floods Pool Emporium or cards or board games or a football pool, John played to win!
John and I were to have lunch in Delta after store hours. But when I got there John was still busy with customers. Finally after the last customer was out the door John said we'd have to make some deliveries to people that were shut-in and couldn't come to the store for their meds. We delivered. But no lunch. Typical of John - service over and above. Some time later when John, with great regret, had to close the Delta store the people of the village and area invited John to a lunch at the civic centre. John asked me to come with him. There I witnessed a great outpouring of gratitude for the service John had provided to the residents of the area. In the family cottage on Otter Lake there hangs a painting depicting a pair of loons - gift from those residents to their pharmacist - John.
In the spring of 2022, John and Marion travelled with us to the Netherlands during the time that the country observes Remembrance Day followed by Liberation Day - May 4th and May 5th. We attended the service at the Canadian War Memorial Cemetery at Holten. John was moved by what he witnessed that day and he was proud to be a Canadian. and rightfully so! I will treasure the memories of time spent with John and Marion.
Thank you John for being our friend.

For John, a friend forever. Much love to all the family.
No Voice
What do I know of death or life or how the soul
is trending perhaps it leans towards more grace
Last night a good friend died I woke to hear the news
an email just dispatched his wife their children
and their children too attending to each other,
verklempt with monstrous sorrow drowning loss
Her loving partner, friend his sudden passing
to a place beyond her reach a holy truth we’re told,
a desperate comfort for this somber day
Now picking through old memories… there was a time
when teasing, I ragged on his shortcomings – he wasn’t
very tall but I was shorter still and treasured his retorts
This kind and witty, gentle man is gone Did you know him?
I comb through tattered albums search for any glossy image
of the days when we were tight, like kin our families young
bound up in laughter, easy times not sickly pale with upset
not flush with brutal anguish not dealing with the prospects
of a life without
He didn’t know she couldn’t say we’re all bereft
of words no voice, just thoughts we cannot speak
not yet.

To Marion and family, we are so sorry to hear of John's passing. John was manager of the Parke-Davis department that brought me to Brockville, for which I am ever grateful. He built a great team there and was a wonderful boss. We were so pleased to deal with him at Pharmasave, where he again built a wonderful and caring team. His care in filling prescriptions showed when he noticed an error that would have caused our daughter great distress and clarified the matter before completing the task correctly. I did not see him often enough, but whenever I did, I left with a lighter step and a fuller heart. A truly wonderful man, he will be sorely missed.

Although John's life ended with a tragic accident, he left a legacy that will endure forever. First and foremost, John's life was wrapped around the love he had for his wonderful loving and kind best friend, Marion, and their three children, Chrissey ( Blair ), Kim (Greg ), and Mike (Melissa) and his grandchildren who meant everything to him..Distance never stopped the closeness of the Taylor family from their children and grandchildren, and John had a way of finding what made each one of them so special. His friends came from every walk of life and John endeared himself to them and the community of Brockville and the world of Pharmacy in so many ways. Dave loved to golf with John, as well as the many card games that all four of us shared and was always a great sport when Marion and I got the better of him, which wasn't too often. We became part of the Taylor family that John and Marion shared with us so generously.John was noted for his quick wit, incredibly funny sense of humor, and his love of life to he fullest along with that fierce dedication to his family and extended family. There is a saying that I love that describes John. "Some people come into our lives and go quickly. Others linger awhile and leave footprints in our hearts; and then we are never ever the same. "
John left so many footprints in so many lives, and will always be remembered with happiness and laughter as we think of the times we have shared with him and his generous support to numerous organizations in so many ways. Rest in peace John.

I know that I speak for the entire medical community in passing on to Marion and his children our most sincere condolences. John embodied what every pharmacist should be: intelligent, friendly, honest and caring. His staff always reflected this mantra. He was in many respects the pharmacist for the "common man" and his clients loved him. I would never get a request from a patient to switch from John's care. Rather it was frequently the reverse. To read about all of his business ventures and his charitable work is inspiring but I will remember him for his gentle nature and his service to my patients. Hopefully, Lesley and the staff at Pharmasave can carry on his work. He will be sorely missed.

An email arrived in the morning of Saturday April 20th 2024 from Marion Taylor:
"Brace yourselves…I have some very bad news. John had a very bad fall on Tuesday and died last night at Kingston General Hospital. Our family is with me. Love, Marion."
What a shock it was to receive this news. I had seen Marion and John several times in the last few months when John came to Kingston for some special treatment for an obscure illness for which he needed chemotherapy and some very rare drugs. We would meet for lunch after his session at the hospital and Marin and John introduced me to many interesting restaurants in my home city. I received this news while lying in a bed at Providence Care Hospital in Kingston where I was recovering from an operation to replace my right hip which had broken about a month ago when I slipped on some ice and fell. Needless to say, I immediately wrote to Marion expressing my sadness and shock at John's sudden passing.
John had offered to drive me to my new home in Barrhaven on my discharge from hospital in a couple of weeks.
These huge changes in our fortunes made me think of the book "Worlds in Collision" by Velikovski that was published April 3, 1950. He promoted the idea that life on this planet and in this universe was not a simple continuous smooth ride, but rather one which was bumped and pushed and destroyed by chaotic events over the millennia. I realized that we must grasp the present because our plans can be dashed at any tiome without warning.
While wondering what I could write in tribute to John and his life, I was reminded of Tennyson's poem "Break, break, break", the first verse being:
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
It is very difficult to capture the essence of a close friend adequately. Let me say that he was the best in everything he undertook. He built his businesses with fairness to his employees, customers, and suppliers. He spent time with his family. He volunteered to work on community projects. He treated life seriously. He was happy, smiling, amusing, occasionally poking fun at us when we considered ourselves to be overly important, and he especially enjoyed traveling with Marion.
I first met Marion and John when my wife, Claire, and I moved to Brockville after my retirement as a computer consultant. Marion and John welcomed us to the neighborhood on our very first day. They lived on Ormand Street and our home was at the corner of James Street East and Ormond. There was a little porch on the side of the house facing the Taylor's place and quite often in the evening we would be sipping a scotch or reading a book on that porch and John and Marion would join us. It didn't take long to get to know John. He was a very friendly soul and interested in many, many topics. We didn't have any trouble finding something to discuss. It happened that Marion and John were bridge players so before long we were playing bridge with them in the evenings. ohn and Marion had been in Brockville for many years and they introduced us to some of their friends. Claire joined their book club and also a ladies bridge club.
Thinking of John, I can't recall ever seeing him in an argument or in an angry situation with anybody. He was the most friendly soul I could think of and very quickly became my best friend. John was a serious man. If we took up any conversation on any topic he would consider it thoroughly. He accepted my views or opinions with respect. John was an extremely intelligent person who did not try to impress others with his knowledge and understanding. On any topic, his remarks were not only appropriate but added to our understanding of the situation.
John worked at a drug company in Brockville and at one point decided it was time to get his master's degree from Queens so, as a mature student, he went back and completed that course. This was long before I met him to, of course, but he converted his education into a solid knowledge of business.
I am reminded of "There is a tide in the affairs of men
which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat;
and we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.”
From "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare.
John's fortune came from that decision at high tide to get his Master's degree. I'm sure it was also at high tide when he and Marion married.
John worked for a number of years with a pharmacy and when he decided to start up a business on his own, they demanded that he not start a pharmacy within a few miles of Brockville. As a result he set up a successful pharmacy in Delta. When he was no longer prevented from working as a pharmacist in Brockville, he joined the Pharmasave group and with a few very capable pharmacists built a very strong business. One indication of the breadth of his knowledge and understanding is that he was invited to sit on the Board of Directors at Pharmasave and would go to British Columbia four times a year for planning meetings.
In spite of the heavy load at his work involved, John was very much a family man, concerned about the welfare of his children and grandchildren. When his father in Sarnia found that he couldn't live alone anymore, John and Marion arranged for him to live in a senior facility in downtown Brockville fairly close to the drugstore so that he could visit with him.
Marion trained as a nurse. She is a very practical person, one who always comes up with a sensible solution to any question or issue that I might bring up. She has many friends in Brockville and keeps in touch with nurses with whom she studied years ago.
John and Marion have two dàughters and one son, and about seven grandchildren.
Every summer, the cottage at Otter Lake overflows with children and grandchildren enjoying the Canadian experience of cottage life. My wife and I played bridge with two other couples there and spent many pleasant afternoons sitting on the deck that looked out on the lake. After my wife passed away in Burnaby BC, I decided to return to Kingston. John and Marion kindly provided the cottage to me for the week that I had to stay isolated due to the pandemic.
John's talents as a businessman are shown in the fact that he is an owner of two pharmacies, and he has invested in rental properties in Brockville. He was someone that others could trust. His friendly disposition ensured that everyone got along very well. The pharmacy drugstore in Brockville continues to be a success story. John didn't do much day-to-day work there but his team run it capably for him. John also was a partner in a pharmacy in Kemptville, I believe. He took great pride in the fact that he was helping another young pharmacist build a business.
One of John's charitable efforts was in supporting the development of the Brock Trail, a walking trail going through Brockville. He also was effective in helping the people promoting Brockville to open the railway tunnel to tourists. John was a persuasive promoter of these projects and I'm sure they came into fruition in part because of his efforts.
While John was running his Delta Pharmacy, he was struck by a serious illness that was very painful. Luckily, this obscure illness was one that a University of Toronto doctor had been studying and the Toronto Hospital was able to start him on some medicine that put that illness in remission. Although it was clear that John was in pain, he carried on with the pharmacy as long as he could, even having his daughter Chrissie come in to help. Eventually that illness was under control and John could continue a more normal life. Unfortunately, these illnesses tend to return and John was getting treatment for it for the last few months. In between shots of chemo, he and Marion would go off to the West Coast or Europe or anywhere very pleasant to have some time together while he recovered from the fatiguing effect of the chemotherapy. In all of this illness. John maintained a very positive attitude and a very healthy look at life.
John and Marion came out to visit us in Vancouver probably in about 2009 or so. We were able to show them around some of the sights of that beautiful city. Another time they came when it was Claire's birthday so they invited us to a birthday party at a fancy restaurant. I kept thanking John for providing my supper and he kept telling me that this is Claire's party not mine and that I could pay for my own supper. Of course we were kidding and John picked up the tab.
It is extremely difficult to identify and enumerate all the many ways in which John has contributed to my life and the life of many other people with whom he came in contact.
I have always enjoyed the works of William Shakespeare and I remember from the play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" a statement about Caesar:
"His life was gentle; and the elements so mixed in him, that Nature might stand up
and say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!"
I believe we can agree that John Taylor was such a man.

Dear Marion and family;
I'm very saddened to hear of John's passing. He was a kind, community involved, intelligent friend who will be missed by so many. Brockville was most fortunate to have you both choose it. His leadership for the Brock Trail achieved much in his gentle collaborative way. I look forward to a tribute in recognition of this and more.
Hugs,
Celia Medcalf

Dear Marion and family
I was so very sorry to hear of John’s passing. Had the pleasure of working with him many years at The Lung Association. He was an extremely intelligent man, one who cared for the work we did and for his fellow human being. And he had a great sense of humour and yes that twinkle in his eye.
So very very sorry in the loss of a truly amazing person
Sending sympathy to all of you
Kathy Richard’s-Solc

John will be missed by us all. Heartbreak comes to mind with his passing. I had the joy and privilege of spending some wonderful moments with John and Marion in Spain this winter. Rest in peace, my friend.
