1932-2019
John passed away peacefully Monday July 15th, surrounded by his family and beloved wife and soulmate, Marina McDonald. An accomplished singer and organist, John left his home in South Porcupine Ontario in his early teens to pursue his love of music and sound effects at CBC Radio.
An avid curler, lawn bowler, and goalie, John was an active man who loved sports and his special passion for the Toronto Blue Jays was well known.
John will be deeply missed by his daughters Janet (Tim Twomey); Donna (Emberson), Leanne (McDonald), his son-in-law John (Morgan), his grandchildren: Sarah; Zachary (Jayda); Kathleen; Kaitlyn (Rob); Meghan; Connor; Hannah (Jorge) and his new great-grandson Luke.
We are so thankful he found such a profound love in his beautiful wife of 33 years, Marina MacDonald. Always together, they shared many wonderful years and adventures as best-friends. John will also be missed by his loving Meow-Meow.
The family is thankful to the Neurotrauma Unit and 4th Floor Palliative Care Team of St. Mike’s Hospital, for their compassionate care of John and the family during our short time together.
