John's constant companion, Darling, will also mourn the passing of a great friend. John grew up on the family farm in Libou, MB. When he was old enough, he got a job as a heavy duty mechanic working at B.A.C.M. where he worked beside his brother for 20 years.

Construction until he retired. In the younger years, John enjoyed his family, fishing, camping, and boating. John also took great pride in his lawns and gardens. Special thanks to the staff at the Seven Oaks Hospital for all of their care and understanding to John's needs and the family's as well. Also a very special thank you to granddaughter Mary, who took such good care of her Papa over the years, and to nephews Doug and Wesley, who came down to help uncle John with anything that needed to be fixed or repaired, or just to drop by for a visit.
