Peacefully passed away in his sleep on Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at the age of 80.
John is the loving father of Dale (Monica) Tucker, proud grandfather of Amanda Tucker, Jonathon Tucker & Joshua Tucker and great-grandfather of Aubree Spencer. Dear brother of Jim (Jen) Kennedy, Stan Kennedy and Mercedese (Edward) Neary. John is predeceased by his parents John and Mary Kennedy, siblings: Ted (Rita) Kennedy, Mary (Jim) Brown, Alice Kennedy, Marg (John) Peddle and Anne (Fred) McDonald.
John was employed with Butler Metals for more than 30 years. John enjoyed the little things like scratch tickets and going for coffee at the Dunbar Road Tim Hortons. Those that knew John will remember him as a kind and giving man, always willing and wanting to help others whether it be family and friends or the numerous charities he supported over the years. Above all else, he was a family man and enjoyed nothing more than spending time with his loved ones, especially his grandchildren.
A private family service has been held.
As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made in John's memory to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation and would be greatly appreciated.
