JOHN GEORGE ESSLINGER
September 12, 1932 - April 26, 2020
He was 87 years old, and a faithful member of the Winnipeg Beach congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. He took great comfort in the Bible's promise of a time when sickness and death will be no more, along with the hope of the resurrection.
After 64 years of marriage, he will lovingly be remembered by his wife, Shirley Esslinger; son, Gerry (Linda); daughter, Diana (Lawrence); granddaughters, Caley Goray and Sara Goray; and great-grandchildren, Michael, Casey and Laila-Mae.
He was predeceased by brothers, Richard and Ronald; and leaves behind brother, Larry.
Cremation has already taken place at Gilbart Funeral Home. Any further arrangements may be determined at a later date.
Condolences may be left on his tribute wall at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com.

Very sorry to hear about John. We have happy memories of our last trip out to Winnipeg beach where we had a nice visit with you both at the hall. It’s only a comfort to know it’s just around the corner. - Posted by: Barbara King and Trisha (Friends ) on: May 12, 2020

So sad to hear about his struggle with illness before his demise. He was an interesting fellow to converse with. As sadness prevails and emptiness occupies your hours try to fill them with memories of happier times. A time to reflect on life's journey and blessings! Some take the underground route to paradise and sometimes it's for the best! Till we meet again As always your friend! Bro. Hartig - Posted by: Carey Hartig (Friend) on: May 09, 2020

With John always being so mild, meek and humble he was always a pleasure to talk to. He will be sadly missed. We are so sorry Shirley for your loss. We can draw a measure of comfort from knowing that in the time we live, it wont be long until we will see John again. - Posted by: Brian and Donna Shymko (friends) on: May 02, 2020
