Our condolences to the Lagus family in this time of sorrow. I always enjoyed talking to John when I would bump into him at the RWF functions. He was a great man (I know this not only from him personally, but by knowing his son, whom also is a great guy). May John's soul rest in peace!

John was a great guy and a good friend. I first met him forty years ago when he was working at the parkade on Cornwall Street and later got to know him well through our activities with the Regina Wildlife Federation where he was a most valuable member and always good company. He will be missed.
