John Francis Ellis

John died peacefully, at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre on Tuesday June 19, 2018 with his wife Ann at his side. He will be sadly missed by Ann, his brother Peter, and all of his extended family and friends.

John retired from a career in finance in Toronto, and began a new life with Ann in Peterborough. It was in this community that John expanded his passion for community volunteering, fine woodworking and continuous learning. John was a past Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus at St. Anne’s parish, and a volunteer with St. Vincent de Paul Society. John will be fondly remembered as warm, kind and engaging, with a great sense of fun and humour.

A Funeral Mass will be held at ST. ANNE’S CHURCH, 859 Barnardo Avenue on Saturday June 23, 2018 at 11:00 am. Everyone is welcome to join the family after the Mass in the church hall for a light lunch. Arrangements are being arranged by COMSTOCK-KAYE LIFE CELEBRATION CENTRE, 356 Rubidge Street.

In lieu of flowers, donations to CHALICE is appreciated. John and Ann have contributed over the years to Chalice by enriching the lives of children in developing countries through their Child Sponsorship Program.
