He was predeceased by his mother Vera, father Philip and sister Margaret Ann. Leaving to mourn, and left with the fondest of memories, are his best friend and wife Winnie (nee King), son Christopher, daughter Jennifer and chosen son David King (Elaine).

John was blessed with many nieces and nephews who all shared special memories with him. If a person's riches can be measured in the company they keep then John was rich indeed with many dear friends and colleagues of the highest quality. He faced death as he lived life with grace, peace and dignity. John continues to be an inspiration to all who walked with him on this journey we call life. John's warmth was felt by all that knew him including his special friends in the St. Bond's Breakfast Club and the St. John's Philharmonic Choir.
