GRIFFITHS, John Griffiths

It is with heavy hearts that we announce that John Arthur Henry Griffiths, 82, peacefully passed away at Windsor Regional Hospital – Ouellette Campus on January 16, 2026.

Reunited with his loving late Pauline ‘Paula’ (née Gauthier).

John was the proud father of Michelle Griffiths and James Griffiths (Suzanne), and cherished his grandsons of Cooper and Keaton.

Born in Birkenhead, England, to the late Charles and Edith May (nee Waring). Beloved brother of Charles (late Margaret), David (Linda), and the late Audrey Meacock. ‘Uncle John’ will be missed by his nieces and nephews.

John retired from Hiram Walkers after 39 years where he was also involved with the union.

Through the Canadian Blood services, John donated blood more than 200 times to help save lives of others.

John had a deep love for cycling, finding joy and peace on the open road. He was a loyal fan of the Liverpool Football Club. His adventurous spirit, steady presence, and devotion to his family and friends will be lovingly remembered by all who knew him. John was also an active member of Tamiami Village with Paula in North Fort Myers, Florida, where they were snowbirds.

Thank you to the exceptional compassionate care from the following care groups for John: Ouellette Campus Emergency Dr Bradford, Respiratory Therapist John, Nurses Jenna, Alif, and Reiley and UNEs Diana and Maryam. Richmond Terrace’s incredible 3E Team for their tender care and support. Sunrise of Windsor’s compassionate 4th floor staff that made John’s stay enriching and helped the family to adjust to a parent in care.
