John moved to Edmonton from the family farm in West Lorne, Ontario. His career as a truck operator provided many stories of hard work and laughter and is survived by many nieces and nephews who have lots of those stories to remember him by. He enjoyed the outdoors and was looking forward to spending time at the lake this summer.

John’s unique character and heart of gold will be remembered always.
