Born in Richards Landing, Ontario in 1936, John made his way West at the age of 18 and stayed for the rest of his life. He worked for companies like the CN Telegraph before beginning a position with BC Hydro, where he worked for 37 years, retiring in 2002 as construction supervisor for the massive Northern BC region.
John was a devoted husband and loving father, who will now be reunited with his brother Robert; sister Mary; mother Clara Evelyn; and wife Gayle.
He leaves behind his two children Morris (wife Suzanne, son Khayman) and Johnell (husband Chris, son Aldous) as well as various nieces, nephews and their children throughout Canada and the US.
The family will arrange for a Celebration of Life later this year.
He is greatly loved and his presence and humour will be missed always.
