John spent his career working with Fishery Products International and recently with Town of Burin. John was a great man, pop, friend, second dad, coworker to many some even say they broke the mould when they made him. He always had a smile on his face and enjoyed a laugh and was a man who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. His door was always open. He loved life and lived it to the fullest with his carefree attitude. He sure had a way with words as many appreciated.

In John's Memory flowers gratefully accepted or donations to the family.
