He was a proud great-Dziadziu to Kylee (Austin), Tyler, Rylen, Ella (Levi), Henok, Malachi, Abenezer, Mikias, Eve, Jude, Chloe, Gideon, Uriah, Akemi, Mairead, Casper and Louis. He is also survived by his sisters Lorraine, Jean, Valerie, Cecile and Virgie. He will also be remembered by many nieces and nephews.
John loved to sing; he sang in church choirs all his life and for 33 years in the Barbershoppers. He golfed, bowled, and gave back lovingly to his church and his community.
