1942-2016
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Isaiah 52:7. John Cecil Roossinck, 74, of Corner Brook, NL was peacefully called home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, December 7, 2016. Cecil was born in Grand Rapids, MI on November 24th, 1942. He and his wife Marjorie (Pilkington) were married on August 22, 1970. Together, in obedience to the Lord's call on their lives, moved to the island to preach the gospel. For many summers in numerous communities, the message of peace with God was proclaimed to all who came to the Gospel Tent meetings. Cecil and Marjorie started a small Christian bookstore, Bible Truth Supply, in the basement of their home in 1973. In the early 1980's it was expanded and moved to 35 Broadway. After a fire destroyed the building in 2002, the business moved to 98 Broadway. Later the store moved into the Valley Mall where it continues today. Cecil is the beloved husband of Marjorie (Pilkington); Father to Reg & (Beth) Roossinck - grandchildren Erin and Colin of Bolton, ON; Bernie & (Becky) Roossinck - grandchildren Shannon, Brittney, Rachel and Allison of Grant, MI; Benjie Roossinck of Corner Brook, NL; Ruth & (Joe) VandenBerg - grandchildren Josiah, Caleb, Sarah, Elizabeth, Hannah, Silas and Benjamin of Cedar Springs, MI; and Bethany Roossinck of Corner Brook, NL.
