SITTER
John Barry Sitter passed away December 23, 2014, at his home in Sooke, BC after his courageous battle with cancer. John was born December 24, 1941 in Moose Jaw. Sadly, he was just a day short of his 73rd birthday. Predeceased by his partner, Sheridon Armstrong; his cherished mother Doris; his father John; and his special nephew Kent. John will be greatly missed by his three children with Donna Taylor-Sitter; Susan, Scott (Brenda), and John aka JB (Letitia); his nine grandchildren, Jeffery, Taylor Anne, Sarah, Paul, Claire, John, Rosalie, Alexandra, and Sophia. John was the oldest of five, Gary, Sharyn, Anna Marie (Gordon), and Eloise (Jim). His 10 nieces and nephews will all miss and remember fun times every summer at Nana’s. John will be lovingly remembered by many relatives and friends. A special mention to his cousins Susan and Jimmy, whom he adored. John spent a successful career in radio, starting with CHAB in Moose Jaw. He moved often with the parent group of Moffat Communications and kept a trusted colleague close by. He was an athlete, playing professional hockey in his younger days and once owned the Moose Jaw Canucks. He retired in Sooke, BC, a picturesque community, but longed for the wide open spaces of his beloved prairies. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St.Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church on Monday January 12, 2015 at 10:30 am. Father Rick Krofchek will be the Celebrant. Interment will take place in the family plot, Rosedale Cemetery. In living memory of John, a memorial planting will be made by W.J. Jones & Son Funeral Home.
