John was born in Saskatchewan on the homestead. As a young man, John moved to McBride, BC, where he was employed in the logging industry. In 1952, John married Adela Rosin and together they raised their family of four daughters. The family later moved to Revelstoke and then Kamloops where John was employed by Dawson Construction and spent his remaining years there until his retirement. John was an avid fisherman and spent most of his time travelling, fishing and curling. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
A Memorial Service for John will be held on Wednesday, August 15th, 2012 at 1pm in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel with Chaplain Mary Widmer officiating.
The family would like to say a special thank you to the staff at Kelowna General and Royal Inland Hospitals. Memorial donations may be made to the Kamloops SPCA.
