So very sorry to hear of John’s passing. It was always a pleasure to play Czech songs and hear John join in with the other members of the St. Anthony Parish. His memories will always live on.

To the family,
Hadn’t seen John in many, many years, but I went to public school with he and his sisters at Pardoville. I still drive #3, often, and reminisce about families who lived in certain houses along the way and always say .....” that is the Balun home “ and wonder about the family.
May the peace that comes from your memories, give you comfort.
Brenda (Payne) Rumble.

John was not only my eldest cousin but also my dearest friend and my link to our Czech heritage. If I ever had a question about a relative or our family’s history, on my mother’s side, John was my go to guy.
He was always generous in teaching Linda how to make many traditional Czech dishes such as schnitzel and dill gravy.
No trip to Chatham was complete without a visit to the Balun household to share a pivo or a shot of Slivovic from our parents home country.
I feel blessed to have had John as a role model, and will miss him every day.
Forever in my thoughts and heart.
Jerry Gazarek & Linda Young
