Terrible tradgedy for ALL. Not the Johnathan we all knew growing up as a child, young man and eventual husband and father. Although it seems strange now, under the circumstances, we have a lot of fond memories of a good and happy Johnathan.

RIP Mellisa and Jon.

This has been a terrible terrible tradgedy for the Cantin family. I have known John and Clair Cantin for over 20 + years as I have served with John in the Air National Guard. I would like to send the Cantin family some flowers I would appreciate if someone could tell me where to send the flowers. Currently I am TDY working for the US Navy and won't be able to make it to services for his daughter. So any help that someone could provide would be appreciated. Thank you and God bless the Cantin and Charbonneau famlies in their time of need.
