Dad was born in Gibbons, Alberta. He grew up in the Alberta Coal Branch where he spent time fishing, hunting and worked as a heavy equipment operator.
Dad married mom, Rose Lukach, in 1951. They later moved to Prince George in 1964 where they raised their family and operated their family run businesses.
Our father was a family man and loved being with us all, his children Marney (Yvon), Jo-Ann (Rolf), John (Donna), and Candice. He especially loved seeing his grand-daughters RaeAnne, Aiden and Raina.
Dad had a love for nature and we have many fond memories of family gatherings and enjoying the outdoors together. He was a hard worker with an entrepreneurial and resourceful spirit.
Dad is predeceased by his loving wife, our mother, Rose, in 2012.
A private family service will be held at a later date in Edson, Alberta where John and Rose will be reunited at their final resting place.
