John was born August 12, 1929 in Duncan, B.C. and started with the CN Railroad at the young age of 16. He retired from CNR on June 30th, 1985 after 42 years of service. He was a member of the Moose Lodge and the Royal Canadian Legion for many years. John & Jean both enjoyed vacationing in Palm Springs, Mexico, Hawaii and cruising. The most recent cruise (2 years ago) to Alaska for their 60th Anniversary was enjoyed by their three daughters and their spouses.
