  1. Our deepest sympathy to the family of John Amberman. We loved John so much. He was a great friend and he and Gloria were the first people to take us “under their wing” when we moved to Danvers.
    He was definitely a practical joker and we loved that about him. He was so kind and generous with his time at the church. He was a loving man and loved his family more than words can say. We will miss John. We loved him. He is now with his Jesus whom he served with pride. Well done thou good and faithful servant. You will be missed but we will see you again in glory.

  2. As a little girl I remember grocery deliveries from the Marysville Store to our home by this fine gentleman. He always took time to talk to me and I looked forward to his quick visits as he unloaded the order for my Mom. Everything I know of him through contact or hearing from family, just confirmed what I noticed as a little girl. A kind, caring person who took time to notice others. My condolences to Gloria and family. Remember this couple as newly weds and both wonderful, caring and encouraging people. Bonnie (Cochrane) Stairs

  3. My condolences to John’s family. You will be missed by family and friends. RIP John, your suffering is over. Go rejoice in the arms of the Lord.
    Always in my prayers,
    LeeAnn’s Mom, Maddy

  4. I have fond memories of John. I used to tease him that he wasn’t really Canadian because he didn’t speak french 🙂 He was always kind and had a sense of humor. When we were decorating the tree one year, he let us decorate him too with lights and garland strung all over. 🙂 He will be missed by many. I pray the memories you have of John will sustain you as you grieve your loss. Love, Gaia (LeeAnn)
