Passed away suddenly on Sunday April 20, 2025 at Toronto General Hospital. Soulmate, husband, best friend and better half to his wife Angie. Devoted father to his children David (Marisa), Debi (Tyler), Janice (Mike) and Doug. His six grandchildren: Ben, Oliver, Lily, Ramona, Maggie and Lucy will miss playing with their Dedo. John had too many friends to list, but you know who you are.

He lived life to the fullest and loved a good party. John used his mechanical engineering degree to the fullest and was able to fix anything if he stared at it long enough. He was also an excellent carpenter and made most of the furniture in the family home. He played hockey twice a week in two different leagues. One with the pros that he said were way too fast and one with over the hill players that he could SOMEWHAT keep up with. He, also, loved to ride his bike and would go out for long adventures at the cottage. Of course, the cottage was his second life and he managed to take it from one floor to three so all the kids and grandchildren had their own space. The whole family cannot imagine what life will be like without him.

Friends may call at the Turner & Porter 'Peel' Chapel, 2180 Hurontario St., Mississauga (one block north of QEW) on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 from 6-9 p.m. A Celebration of John's life will be held in the Chapel on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at 11:00 a.m.

In memory of John, donations in his name can be made to the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre at the University Health Centre.
