It is with deep sorrow that the family of John Phillip Dooman announces his passing on Sunday, June 11, 2017, at Trinity Village Care Centre. Sadly missed by his wife of 15 years, Sally-Anne, stepchildren Kristen Laughton (Gord), Jamie Sebastian, and Ben Siapas, and grandchildren Elizabeth, Anna, Sophie, and Thomas. Beloved brother of Bob Dooman (Victor Dirda). John was also a cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews as well as great-nieces and great-nephews. Born in Chicago on March 20, 1943, John always carried with him a deep love of the Cubs. He proudly served his country during the Vietnam War in the medical corps. John was an avid storyteller and did not hesitate to share tales of his experiences from Thailand to Texas. Family was important to John, and his nieces, nephews and grandchildren were the light of his life. Many thanks to the staff at Trinity Village for their care and compassion. Special thanks to Laura, Fatima, Bonnie, Jasmina, Heather, Shar, and home support worker Sandy English. Cremation has taken place.
