Born in London, England May 16, 1948, John came to Canada in 1971 landing in Montreal and journeying by CN Rail to Jasper Park Lodge. John ended his working years at NBCC in St Andrews retiring in 2004.  Some of John's most enjoyable times were spent sailing  'Miss T' with family and friends on Passamaquoddy Bay.  A member of St Andrews Yacht Club, he enjoyed many sailing excursions, races and social events.  Health problems curtailed the sailing in the last years.  John died peacefully at home with his family around him.  He is at rest now and we are left with many happy memories.
