ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John F. Tomczak (September 10, 1918 – September 4, 2017) was born in Saskatoon where he spent most of his childhood before joining the Navy from 1940 – 1945, as a Leading Bandsman in the Original Naden Band. John spent his working life in Victoria with the BC Government, retiring in 1981. John’s first wife Collette died in 1987 and largely due to the compassion and care she received at Victoria Hospice; he became involved with Victoria Hospice in 1988 as a volunteer.
He married Claire in 1991 and both of them remained very involved with Victoria Hospice for the next 23 years volunteering in many areas. They were both involved in founding the Hospice Bereavement Self Help Group which held weekly Saturday night meetings. He was made a life member of Victoria Hospice in 1997. He was also involved with the Independent Housing Society of Greater Victoria as President and a Board member. John had a special gift and a real passion for talking, and most importantly listening, to the Bereaved and in 2005, at the age of 87, he self-published a book on Bereavement titled Shared Knowledge.
