He took pride in his positions and enjoyed working with many co-workers. John was a longtime member of the Fort Garry Legion and a proud member of the Redboine Local.

"Dear Uncle John, I love you to the sun
and back, yes the sun because it's
further than the moon and it shines.
You shine in my life" - Love Cheryl
"Dear Dad, we know you will be our
family's guardian angel, watching over
all of us from above. Rest well Daddy."

Our family moved from MB when I was very young so I did not grow up with my cousin John. However, we reconnected years ago and I enjoyed being in his company whenever I was out east visiting the family. Our sincere sympathy to Auntie Verna and Uncle Walter, John’s siblings, children and other extended family members, at this very sad time. John will be missed but never forgotten.

I've known John for years from the time he lived in the rozel apartments playing football at Fort Rouge park and many times he had me over at his place he would let borrow the family car when I needed it. We offer our condolences to Walter and Verna and all of John's relatives in time of loss. Rest in peace - John Colleen and Garth Donaldson - Posted by: Garth Donaldson (Ex brother in law) on: Aug 14, 2021
