John, fondly known as Johnny, was born to William (Bill) and Grace (nee Crocker), on February 10, 1948, in Toronto, Ontario.

John was predeceased by his parents, brother-in-law Zeph Prince and son James.
John graduated from Victoria Park Secondary School in 1967. Before settling down with a family, John’s adventurous spirit took him across Canada to Vancouver. Upon his return he married the love of his life in 1972.
A little later in life he went on to become a Technician at Bell Canada.
After taking an early retirement from Bell, John also worked for Promark Telecom and Aecon working as a locator. Aside from his love for his family, John found joy riding his motorcycle, practicing meditation and was passionate about spending time at the cottage.
You could always find him puttering around, taking the kids water skiing or tubing, and visiting neighbours.
John's favorite saying was 'treat people as you would like to be treated', and this is exactly how he choose to live his life.
John was always welcoming and kind and positively impacted everyone he met, and he will be truly missed.
