Daniel. John was a true family man who cared deeply for his family.
His love of his wife, children and grandchildren showed itself
in everything that he did in his life. He will never to be forgotten
by those who knew and loved him. John worked as a Stationary
Engineer, retiring from the Mount Saint_Joseph Motherhouse of London.
He will be missed by his many Friends in London with whom he
enjoyed good conversation over a cup of coffee. He was particularly
interested in anthropology, economics and history. He enjoyed
golf and took pride in growing roses. He was a talented artist,
providing his children with many hours of enjoyment recreating
comic strip characters. Through his sharing of stories of life
growing up in the nineteen thirties and forties, he instilled
in his children a sense of hard work, responsibility, fairness
and a love of family. He was a truly wonderful man who disliked
being the center of attention, and needed no acclaim for his
accomplishments aside from simply knowing that his family benefited.
His family would like to thank family and Friends for the tremendous
outpouring of love and support that they and John received while
he was in hospital. Also, to the doctors, nurses, and many specialists
of the London Health Science Centre, your compassion and encouragement
were outstanding. In accordance to his wishes John has been cremated.
No funeral or memorial will be observed. Donations may be made
