John is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Diane; his two daughters Karen (Rob) Martineau and Lisa (Jeremy) Lee; three granddaughters: Athena, Megan, Madeline, and one Great Granddaughter Charlotte as well as many dear friends.
John grew up on a farm near the small town of Bluffton, Alberta and this helped lead to his lifelong passion for nature and animals. He found great enjoyment in tending his garden and feeding his wild friends like blue jays, squirrels and a mated pair of ducks that still make his backyard home. John had had 2 pet rabbits, the most recent, "Bunny"; acted more like a cat being litter trained and having full reign of the house inside and out.
John worked for the CIBC bank for 35 years. In his retirement years, John enjoyed travelling with his wife Diane. They most recently went to Hawaii and then on a beautiful Alaskan cruise together.
