John Isaac Rempel

We are saddened to announce the sudden passing of John on July 30, 2014. John was born in Saskatchewan and raised in Kenora, Ontario where he met and married Dee Hartley. John was a mechanic by trade, obtaining his license in Toronto. He worked for Dingwall Motors in Kenora before obtaining an Esso Service Station in East Kildonan and then River Heights. He also operated a hotel in Snow Lake. He and his family moved to Vancouver and then to Kelowna for several years before returning to Winnipeg where he operated Grant Park Esso for 12 years and then J.B. Transmission for five years. John could fix anything and always welcomed the challenge of a new mechanical difficulty. Two of the men who trained under him went on to operate their own service stations. He leaves to mourn his wife Dee, his sons Michael Scott and John Kurt and his daughter Jodi Burns. Also his special kids Rosa, Sonny, Dan (Jenna), Mariah (Scott) and Cam and his sister Anne. He was predeceased by his parents, his brother Bill and his sisters Dorothy, Hilda and Margaret. He will be missed by his special friends, Ray Billy and Art Schultz. A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at Green Acres Funeral Home Hwy #1 East at Navin Road.
