August 31, 1921 - June 21, 2009
John was born a twin on August 31, 1921 at Runnymede, Saskatchewan. He was raised on a farm, and took up farming until he decided to venture out into the great unknown. He and his twin brother started a hardware store in Humboldt and Quill Lake, Saskatchewan. Years later he went to work for Simpson Sears and held a lot of posts as manager in many cities in Saskatchewan and British Columbia. His last store was Penticton, from where he retired. He later moved to Lethbridge to be closer to family.
John is survived by his wife Nellie, of 68 years, as well as two sons and two daughters.
He had a very full life.
A private family interment service will take place in Saskatchewan at a later date.
The family wishes to thank everyone who took great and loving care of John.
