John fought back courageously and without complaint until the early morning hours of April 4, 2015 when God took him to his heavenly home. "The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen." 2 Timothy 4:18 (New International Version) A funeral service will be held on Monday, April 13, 2015 at 11 a.m. at the Oakbank Baptist Church, 26033 Springfield Road, Oakbank, Manitoba.
