Great work ethic starting at a young age, working at Burnbrae Farms, Permanent Concrete and finishing his career at LaFarge Canada. Later John kept himself busy giving a helping hand with yard maintenance, snow removal and what some would call his famous walks.
On February 14, 1976 just shy of 50 years, John married his devoted wife Kimberly (Kirkham) St. John of Brockville. John was a beyond loving father to Shane St. John (Jody) and John (JJ) St. John (Lisa). John adored and cherished his grandchildren Gabrielle, Caitlyn and Jackson.
John is survived by his wife Kim and remaining siblings Edna (the late Gord), Sue (the late Dave), Bernie, Norma (Grant), Marie (Rob) and many, many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by siblings Donnie, Darlene, Shirley, Pat, Jean, Dale and Eddie.
A Celebration of John’s life will take place at a later date. Donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or by planting a tree in his honour.
John will be remembered as a supporting, strong, humble man who had an undeniable love for his family and friends. He would always help anyone in need all while having a smile on his face.
Fly high old man!
