MYHAL,
John
After 87 years of a very full and robust life, John
MYHAL passed
away at Saint_Joseph's Lifecare Centre on Sunday July 7th, 2008.
He is survived and forever rejoiced in by his wife Doris, his
children Cheryle
OLDROYD (Laurie), Beverly
GRENVILLE-
MYHAL (Allan
HUTCHINSON/HUTCHISON,)
Gregory
MYHAL (Hoa,) and Denise
PARRY (Roger,) as
well as by his sisters Helen
MANTON and Pauline
BONYUN. He was
a favourite 'Grandad Johnny' to his many loving grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. Predeceased by his sisters Kay
ROPER,
Anne BARNES, and big brother Mike
MYHAL.
John attended Brantford
Collegiate Institute and served in the Royal Canadian Air Force
during the war. After 1945, he returned to Brantford and began
his cabinetmaking career on Richardson Street where he created
his woodworking masterpieces for the next 60 years. Examples
of his superb craftsmanship grace numerous homes and businesses
throughout Brant County. In the summer, when not 'at the shop',
John could be found perfecting his other passion on the local
golf fair ways. He was a formidable opponent, but always a more
generous friend and playing partner - he achieved his treasured
'hole in one' late on in his career at the Burford Golf Links.
John will be loved and remembered by all for his bighearted spirit,
his corny sense of humour, and always 'being there' for family
and Friends. Please join our family in celebrating John's modest,
but still remarkable and exemplary life. If a man's life can
be measured by the firmness and warmth of his handshake, then
John had no equal. Visitation will be held at McCleister Funeral
Home, 495 Park Rd. N. Brantford, on Friday from 7-9 p.m. And
Saturday from 3-5 p.m. A Memorial Service will take place in
the Chapel on Saturday at 5: 00 p.m. As expressions of sympathy,
donations in John's memory made to the Grand River Conservation
Foundation would be appreciated. McCleister 519-758-1553 www.mccleisterfuneralhome.ca
