Born in Cheticamp. John grew up in Sydney, Nova Scotia, where he met his first wife Mary Kathleen (Kay) Lewis. He graduated from St. FX University and had two amazing sons, John (Kathy) and Timothy (Kristy) and was blessed to be the grandfather of Reese and Ryleigh. John is survived by his sisters Lorraine Manley, Eileen McLeod and Theresa Coole.
