I have known John for a long time. Always looked forward to talking with John when he visited Detroit Diesel in Detroit or when we both attended a conference. Had hundreds of phone and email conversations with him and he will be missed.

I met John while working for Kaiser resources . A few years later we met again when we pkayed hockey for the Coleman Grands.John worked hard and he played hard and I remember his infectious smile. He always brought a laugh or two to the dressing room. Donna I am so sorry to hear of his passing Fudge

Some years ago, while working at Kaiser Resources in Sparwood, I had the pleasure of sharing a short job and meeting this fine, helpful,considerate, and very competent fellow named John McCracken. It was brief, but was pleasantly memorable. Fast forward to Kamloops, cica. 2017, I remet this fine fellow, John. He friended up to me and we quickly exchanged pleasantries. A wonderful connect. We discovered that we had a mutual acquaintance and friend, Fred Schindel. Today Fred revealed the sad news of John's passing to me. I am ever so sad and sorry. Why do the good die young??? My sincere condolences to the family. You do not know me, but many members of CIMM including myself certainly knew John. All would speak well of him. May John rest in peace. Jorgen Sveistrup

I will miss John, we spent many days and nights working together to fix engine and trucks and I so much enjoyed John's company and his commitment and promise to make the customer succeed. John helped me learn and grow and I will never forget John for this..... Over the years we would get together on occasion and enjoy reflecting back on the fun we had together. Yes, I like many others will sorely miss John, but will be forever thankful for our time together! Jim Harrison - Kamloops

I knew and worked with John for 31 years , I consider him a good friend and colleague, we used to meet often to discuss work but the conversation would inevitably end up about motorcycle's , John telling me about the motorcycle's he had owned and me trying to get him to sell me his Ariel Square Four , he used to just smile at me . John was such a talented man , his knowledge and his easy going manner will be sorely missed , he was such a nice man . Please accept my condolences, I'm going to miss him terribly. Cameron May

Donna, Russell, Kevin and families, my sincerest condolences on your loss of John. I remember talking to John as we were walking out after an Ice game a few months ago and I asked him when is he going to retire? He said when Ang retires. I'm sorry that John didn't get to enjoy a retirement. My love and prayers go out to you as you go through this difficult time. Donna, I will come visit you when I get back from my holiday. Love Ang and Lina Fiorentino

So very sad to hear of John's passing, many years of association through mining and conferences and shared stories of the "old" days leaves me with a sadness to not enjoy another chat. My sympathies to the sad, too early, passing of a fine and colorful gentleman. Irene Mills
