Passed away peacefully in his 90th year on March 12, 2025 at the RVRHC. Beloved husband of Patricia “Pat” for almost 66 years. Loving father of Allen (Shannon), Lisa (Duane), and Christopher (Mylene), and he will also be missed by Heather and her family. He was a very devoted and hands on grandfather of Kyle, Jessie, and Eric.
John was a hardworking man who remained active in his career until his 76th year. He began working at just 16 years old with his dad and was the very proud owner of Day Cartage.
Faith was an important part of John's life. He was active in the church for many years. In his retirement, John rekindled his passion for music and found joy and purpose in playing the piano.
A service to celebrate John's life will be held at Westside Lutheran Church, 510 Ferndale Dr. N., Barrie on Thursday March 20 at 2pm with visitation at 1pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations in John's memory may be made directly to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada (705-722-1066) and the VON (705-737-5044).
