Church and served on the Boards of Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial
Hospital and The Oakville Club. John was happiest when his family
was at his side; one of his dogs was at his feet, with a good
book in one hand and a martini in the other. He had a quiet presence
and a dry wit. He loved the garden and nature in all its forms.
John was a gentleman to all and a figure of stability, kindness
and love to his family. John's family would like to thank the
staff and volunteers at Ian Anderson House for their wonderful
care and compassion. At his request a private family internment
will be held. Friends are invited to attend a celebration of
his life on Friday, June 27th at 5: 00 p.m. at The Oakville Club,
