Railway man, union man (Rebel), family man. Dad was a quiet, hardworking man of principle who was always there to lend a helping hand - a Jack of all trades. After retiring from DEVCO in 2000 with over 44 years of service, he could always be found working around the yard or in the garage and spending time with his German Shepherd. He was predeceased by his father William, brothers Edwin & Gerry, sisters Yvonne, Dorothy & Noreen. He is survived by his brother George.
We would like to thank the staff of the MacGillivray Guest Home for their excellent care & compassion, palliative care, continuing care, the Red Cross and a special thank you to the VON & County Homemakers for providing wonderful care at home.
Dad you will be forever missed and never forgotten. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family by visiting www.twcurry.com. If desired, donations in John's memory may be made to either the Hospice/Palliative Care Society or your local SPCA.
