With profound sadness the family announces the peaceful passing of their beloved father John in Toronto, on March 12th. John was surrounded by family, daughter Kelly (Chuck), sons John (Suzanne) and Derek (Cate), sisters Mary and Kay and brothers Steve and Terry who will mourn the loss of a wonderful father and brother. John was born and raised in Toronto to parents Richard and Bridget on November 9, 1938. In 1962 he married his wife, Estelle (nee Beamish), who predeceased him in 2005. John’s eight grandchildren, (Ryan, Brett, Kaitlin, Hailey, Josh, Lynda, Ava and Nash) will miss his presence at family dinners, his generosity, humour, and his unfailingly good advice. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1956 and was a proud veteran. A dedicated firefighter for 31 years, John served with the former East York Fire Department, retiring in 1993 with a record of excellent service and a history of legendary practical jokes. John will be remembered for his exuberance and warmth. He was an excellent story teller and listener, who loved laughter and did much good. John was a consummate Irishman and a proud Canadian. John was a sports enthusiast and enjoyed working at various times for the Toronto Argonauts, the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Molson Indy. An avid golfer, John had been most recently employed by Coppinwood Golf Course in Uxbridge. John had a keen interest in hockey and derived tremendous enjoyment from watching his children and grandchildren play the game at various arenas throughout the GTA. He will be remembered for the words of encouragement he offered freely not only to his own players, but to others as well. John was always happy to spend time with fellow veterans at the Uxbridge Legion as well as other Legions in the areas he visited while on vacation. The family wishes to thank the medical and spiritual support staff of St. Michael’s hospital for their care and compassion, and Father Paul McCarthy of Uxbridge for his guidance and support. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 170, Uxbridge.
