Upon achieving 90 years, John was living proof that the gods do not deduct from man's
allotted span the hours spent fishing.
John passed away on July 9, 2023. He was predeceased by his son, Michael (Audrey) in 2004.
He is survived by his wife, Audrey (nee Moody) of 62 years, daughter Karen (Ben), and grand- children, Janice, David, Susan, Kristyn and John.
John graduated from Lord Byng Secondary School, then UBC's Sauder School of Business, subsequently working many years for Mutual Life, Pemberton Securities, and Syntax Financial Counsel.
An avid outdoorsman, John was an enthusiastic member, then alumnus, of UBC's Varsity Outdoor Club, completing many treks up Hollyburn Mountain, and later teaching his children to ski at Cypress and Whistler Mountains.
John also enjoyed fishing and sailing. He and Audrey spent many happy times racing Soliton and exploring Desolation Sound.
A Celebration of Life will be held at EHYC on September 24, 2023.
