John Curtis Bullock (Sept 20, 1954 - Oct 1, 2022), of Guelph, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love, after a year-long journey with cancer. Dearly loved partner of Nancy Dickieson. Will be sadly missed by Bruce and Sue Dickieson, Karla, Ben and Katie Oxley, Ian Dickieson, and a wide circle of extended family and friends. Predeceased by his father, Harold Bullock, his sister Carolyn (Carrie) Bullock, and parents Donnie and Elvin McNally.
John worked as a building mechanic and millwright at the University of Guelph until his retirement in 2019. His early career was in mining, in Alberta and Red Lake, ON.
John had a passion for the outdoors. He loved to hike, cycle, and cross-country ski. He challenged himself with demanding high altitude treks in Africa, Peru, Nepal and Chile. Along with his love of travel, John was interested in photography, music and history, especially WWII. He enjoyed time spent with family and friends, including a lively game of euchre after a good meal.
