September 4, 1942 - October 27, 2020
John died peacefully at home at the age of 78. John faced his severe
health problems with courage, strength and a strong faith in God. His
degree in social work assisted him in being a strong advocate for long
term care residents, dedicating 48 years of his life as owner of Eden
House Care Facility. He will be remembered by, and so enjoyed, socializing
with all he met and especially his coffee buddies in Rockwood.
John leaves behind his loving wife Gail of 51 years. Proud and amazing
father to Mark (Amanda), Shelley (Mark) Nicol, and Matthew (Lindsay).
Loving grandfather to Victoria, Emma, Marissa and Casey, Marijka and
Sydney, Nicholas, Natalie and
Lucas.
