It is with great sadness that the family of John Nelson Stone announce the passing of their beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. John died on January 26, 2021 at the age of 85.
He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Audrey, and his sons Jeffrey (Christina) and James (Laura). His grandchildren Kevin, Melanie (William) and Jeffrey were the light of his life. He will also be dearly missed by his lifelong friend William Bowen. John was predeceased by his twin brother, Raymond. John worked for CHCH news for many years. After retirement, John dedicated his time to the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy (OFCP). His many passions included golfing, photography and volunteering in youth sport. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to John’s many caregivers, nurses, and doctors. According to John’s wishes, a private cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life ceremony will be postponed until we can gather safely. The family would appreciate expressions of sympathy in the form of a donation to OFCP.
