Condolences
My condolences to the Steringa family. I worked with John at Rutherford rd yard, and was a great role model for myself and a lot of others, until we meet again my friend, RIP….
Please accept my belated condolences on John’s passing. We worked together many years ago at the Rutherford Rd Works Yard in Brampton when I was just starting my operations career. John was a good guy, very helpful and was always looked upon as someone to count on.
