John was an avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed time at his cabin and in his boat out on the lake. Retired from a successful business career in sales he continued to work right until his final days. However his greatest accomplishment and love was his family.
Thank you to the staff of the Medical, Surgical and Rehab Units of The Portage District General Hospital in Portage La Prairie MB and a special thank you to Dr Sean Fainman for his kindness, care and compassion.

We are so saddened to learn of John's passing. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. I worked with John in the 80's and 90's at Metropol Security, and he contributed to a great work environment. We have great memories of New Years Eve at the house in Headingley.
