It is with heavy hearts we would like to announce the passing of John Edward Whitehead who died peacefully on Thursday May 2nd, 2024 at PRHC at the age of 88. John was pre-deceased by his beloved wife Daphne. The kind and gentle father of Dawn Mattucci (Mike), Lisa Davis (Randy), Darryl Whitehead (Lorraine) & Sherry Hynes (Terry). Proud Grandfather of Jon Davis, Ryan Mattucci, Jennifer Davis, Kristopher Mattucci, Matthew Whitehead, Jillian Davis, Gabrielle Whitehead, Mia Hynes and spouses. Great Grandfather to Hunter, Shephard, Ryder and new baby girl Remy.
John served in the British Royal Marines and completed an apprenticeship in printing before immigrating to Canada in 1961. He had a long career in Printing. There is no doubt John has left a legacy behind. A man of great integrity and kindness. He will be sadly missed by all and we know he will be missing his family along with his beloved Arsenal Football Club.
Thanks to the nurses and doctors in 3B for their exceptional care and compassion.
