John did some legal work for both of us and we appreciated his sincerity and his friendly manner. He only wanted what was best for us and we were grateful for that. Our sincerest condolences go to his family members and we are very sorry for your loss.
My Dear Friend Shilo, Ashley and Tess,
My deepest condolences to you all for your loss. John Hannah was a special man. Unfortunately with great love comes great grief. I’m so sorry. I hope your many happy memories of your dad bring you some peace during this difficult time. I send you all much love and light. xoxo
We are so saddened by the news. John was more than a family lawyer to us, he was a family friend. For every major event in our lives, he was there for us. We were very close to the whole family, especially when the girls Shilo, Courtnay, Ashley, and Tess were young. They still hold a place in our hearts even though they are grown and have children of their own. John adored his grandchildren so much, and spoke lovingly of them every time we met with him in his office.
With deepest sympathy to the whole Hannah family,
from Karen Andrews and Trudy Raffeiner
Courtenay & Family . . . Our sincerest sympathy on the passing of your dad,
Courtenay! Cherish your memories & special times you shared. He will be missed around the golf club!
We were very saddened to learn of the death of John Hannah who had been our lawyer for over 40 years. He guided us through so many things, starting with the complicated acquisition of a building site at Big White in its early years He was always helpful and innovative with his advice and we grew to depend on him. He will be missed and we offer our heartfelt sympathy to his family. Mary & Leon Blumer
